VISA/MASTERCARD CARDHOLDER AGREEMENT,
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT 

This Agreement, together with the application you previously signed and the enclosed Arbitration Agreement, governs the use of your VISA® or Mastercard® Account 
issued by Credit One Bank, N.A. (the “Account,” “Card” or “Card Account”). The words “you,” “your” and “Cardholder(s)” refer to all persons, jointly and severally, 
authorized to use the Card Account; and “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Credit One Bank” refer to Credit One Bank, N.A., its successors or assigns. By requesting and receiving, 
signing or using your Card, you agree as follows: 

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please read the Arbitration Agreement portion of this document for important information about your and our legal rights under this Agreement.

1. CHANGES IN AGREEMENT TERMS: We can change any term of this Agreement, including the rate of the finance charge or the manner in which the finance charges 
are calculated, or add new terms to this Agreement, at any time upon such notice to you as is required by law. As permitted by law, any change will apply to your new 
activity and, in certain circumstances, to your outstanding balance when the change is effective. If you do not wish to be subject to the change, you must notify Credit 
One Bank by calling our toll-free number at 866-515-5721 or you may write to us at Bank Card Center, P.O. Box 95516, Las Vegas, NV 89193-5516 prior to the effective 
date of the change, and close your Account.

2. JOINT ACCOUNTS: If the application was for more than one person, or if an application was made and accepted by Credit One Bank to add a new Cardholder to 
an existing Account, this is a “Joint Account.” Each of you individually may use the Account to the extent of the credit limit established for the Account, and each of 
you is jointly and severally liable for the full outstanding balance, including, but not limited to, charges made by any Cardholder. Each of you shall also be jointly and 
severally liable for any charges made by any person given permission to use the Account by any Cardholder. You agree that Credit One Bank is authorized to act on the 
instructions of any Cardholder. Instructions from any one of you will constitute instructions from all of you. Requests from a Cardholder to terminate the privileges of 
another Cardholder on the Account will be deemed a request for termination of the Account.

3. AUTHORIZED USER: At your request, we may, at our discretion, issue an additional card in the name of an Authorized User with your credit card account number. If 
you allow someone to use your Account, that person will be an Authorized User. By designating an Authorized User who is at least fifteen years of age, you understand 
that: 1) you will be solely responsible for the use of your Account and each card issued on your Account including all charges and transactions made by the Authorized 
User and any fees resulting from their actions to the extent of the credit limit established for the Account; 2) the Authorized User will have access to certain account 
information including balance, available credit and payment information. If you provide an Authorized User with any information that enables him/her to access or 
use your Account, you agree to be liable for the Authorized User’s use of that information, and we will have no responsibility or liability for any of the Authorized User’s 
actions; 3) we reserve the right to terminate the Card Account privileges of an Authorized User by closing your Account and issuing you a new account number; 4) the 
Account may appear on the credit report of the Authorized User. If you advise us that the Authorized User is your spouse, information regarding the Account will be 
provided to consumer reporting agencies in your name as well as in the name of the Authorized User; 5) the Authorized User can make payments, report the card lost 
or stolen and remove him or herself from the Account; 6) you can request the removal of the Authorized User from your Account via mail or telephone. 
Authorized User Annual Participation Fee: An Authorized User Annual Participation Fee of $19.00 will be imposed for issuing a card in the Authorized User’s name. 
This Fee will be assessed annually in the month the Authorized User was added to the Account.

4. CONFLICTS BETWEEN CARDHOLDERS: In the event Credit One Bank receives conflicting instructions from one or more of you, or if Credit One Bank has reason 
to believe there is a dispute between the Cardholders, Credit One Bank may, at its sole discretion, take one or more of the following actions: (1) refuse to act on any 
conflicting instructions; (2) restrict the Account and deny access to all Cardholders until the dispute is resolved; or (3) terminate the Account. In no event will Credit 
One Bank be liable for any delay or refusal to honor a request for an advance or any other request with respect to your Account, or for restricting or terminating the 
Account as provided in this section.

5. YOUR CREDIT LIMIT: Your Credit Limit will be established by Credit One Bank and will be disclosed to you when your Card is issued. It also will be shown on each 
of your billing statements. We reserve the right to modify your Credit Limit from time to time, and if we do so, we will notify you. You agree not to engage in any Card 
transaction that would cause your outstanding balance to exceed your Credit Limit. Credit One Bank may, but is not obligated to, extend credit to you from your Account 
if you are already up to your Credit Limit or if the borrowing would take you over your Credit Limit at any time. You must pay us on demand any amount by which your 
Account’s balance exceeds your Credit Limit. If we extend credit over your Credit Limit, we will not be obligated to do so again, and such extension will not result in any 
waiver of our rights under this paragraph.

6. USING YOUR CARD: You and any Joint Cardholder or Authorized User may use your Cards: (1) to make purchases of goods or services at merchant establishments 
where the Card is accepted, and (2) to obtain cash advances (i.e., loans of money) at participating financial institutions. Each purchase and cash advance obtained will 
reduce the available credit under your credit limit until it is repaid. Cash advances are limited to 25% of your assigned credit limit. Cash advances cannot exceed two 
transactions or more than $200.00 per day, as applicable. You promise to pay us, when due, the total amount of all purchases and cash advances, as well as all finance 
charges, and other fees and charges billed to your Card Account. You may not use your Card for any illegal purpose. You further acknowledge that the Card Account will 
be for personal use and may not be used for business purposes.

7. AUTHORIZATION: Merchants or banks may contact us on your behalf to obtain authorization for Card purchases or cash advances. You agree that we shall have 
no liability if: (a) any merchant or bank refuses to honor any Card issued to access the Account, (b) operational difficulties prevent authorization of a transaction, (c) 
authorization is declined because your Account is overlimit or delinquent, or (d) credit has been restricted pursuant to any term of this Agreement.

8. YOUR MONTHLY STATEMENT: Your Account will be on a monthly billing cycle. We will send you a statement each month that there is activity or an outstanding 
balance on your Account. The statement itemizes your Account activity, including purchases, cash advances, fees, finance charges, other charges, and payments and 
credits posted during the billing period. The payment coupon portion of the statement will serve as your bill. When making payment, write your Account number on your 
check or money order and return the coupon with your payment. You should retain the remaining portion of your statement for your records. If the Bank offers, and you 
elect to receive, your monthly statement electronically, paper statements will not be mailed to you. You will be responsible for making your payments by the due date, 
either through the Bank’s website or telephone, for which a fee may apply, or by mailing your payment to the appropriate address designated for receipt of payments by 
mail. Credit One Bank will not be responsible for processing delays or failure to process the payment to your Account if a payment sent by mail does not contain your 
Account number or is not accompanied by your payment coupon. Your payment will be credited to your Account, as of the date of receipt, if the payment is received by 
5:00 p.m. Pacific Time (“PT”).

9. ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE: The Annual Membership Fee for your Account is $45.00. The Annual Membership Fee will be billed to your Account as long as it 
remains open or, if your Account is closed by you or us, the Annual Membership Fee will continue to be charged until you pay your outstanding balance in full. The 
Annual Membership Fee is refundable as long as you cancel your Account and have not used your card for any Purchases or Cash Advances and you have not made a 

2

payment. An Annual Membership Fee Notice, as required by regulation, will be provided to you at least once every 12 months. The Annual Membership Fee is imposed 
for providing services related to your Account, including but not limited to: the opportunity to use your card with participating merchants, providing renewal cards, 
providing availability of customer service representatives for assistance, providing credit information to credit reporting agencies, and providing the opportunity for 
additional credit. 

10. FINANCE CHARGES: Your Card Account is subject to finance charges and the total Finance Charges in your monthly billing cycle are the sum of the Periodic Finance 
Charges, Transaction Finance Charges, and Credit Limit Increase Fees which are calculated as follows:
(a) Periodic Finance Charges: For purchases and cash advances, Credit Limit Increase Fees, Annual Membership Fees, Late Payment Fees and other fees and charges 
to your Account, the Periodic Finance Charge is calculated as follows: The Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”) for Purchases and Cash Advances may vary and will be 
determined by adding 16.65% to the U.S. Prime Rate appearing in the “Money Rates” section of any edition of The Wall Street Journal published on the 25th day of 
each month. If the Journal is not published on that day, then the Prime Rate on the next business day will be used. If the Prime Rate changes, the new rate will take 
effect on the first day of the following month. The new rate will be applied to all balances on the Account. The estimated APR for all balances is 3.25% plus 16.65%, 
currently 19.90% (corresponding monthly periodic rate of 1.6583%). The APR will never be greater than 29.90% (corresponding monthly periodic rate of 2.4916%). 
The most recent Annual Percentage Rate was disclosed to you when you received your credit card. There is a Minimum Interest Charge if you are charged interest; the 
minimum Interest Charge will be no less than $1.00 for any billing cycle in which an Interest Charge is due. Periodic Finance Charges will be assessed from the date 
the purchase, cash advance, fee or charge is posted to your Account until the date it is paid in full, and will be calculated by applying the monthly periodic rate to the 
“average daily balance” of your Account. To get the “average daily balance,” we take the beginning balance of your Account each day, add any new purchases, cash 
advances, fees and charges, and subtract any payments or credits and unpaid periodic Finance Charges. 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. This gives us the “average daily balance.” Periodic Finance Charges will be 
assessed on all “average daily balances” until paid in full. All purchases, cash advances, fees or charges accrue finance charges starting on the date of posting, even 
if the new balance from your previous statement was paid in full or even if that new balance was zero.
(b) Cash Advance Transaction Finance Charges: The Cash Advance Transaction Fee for the first year is $0 (Introductory period). After the first year, each time you 
obtain a new cash advance, we will impose a Transaction Fee Finance Charge of 8% of the amount advanced or $5.00, whichever is greater.
(c) Credit Limit Increase Finance Charges: A fee may be imposed for Credit Limit increases, as described under the “Credit Limit Increase Requests” section of this Agreement.
(d) Foreign Transaction Finance Charges: Each time you make a foreign transaction, we may impose a Transaction Fee Finance Charge of 3% of the amount charged 
or $1.00, whichever is greater. For additional information, see the “Foreign Transaction” section of this Agreement.
(e) Fees Treated as Principal: For purposes of Finance Charge calculation, Credit Limit Increase Fees, Annual Membership Fees, Late Payment Charges, and other 
charges, except cash advance fees, will be treated like purchase transactions, posted as principal, and accrue Finance Charges like purchases.
(f) Periodic Statement Annual Percentage Rate: If a finance charge imposed is required to be included in calculating the Annual Percentage Rate under the Federal 
Truth-in-Lending Act, the Annual Percentage Rate disclosed on your statement may exceed the corresponding Annual Percentage Rate disclosed in this Agreement for 
any billing period in which such finance charge is posted to your Account.

11. LATE PAYMENT CHARGES: If at least the Amount Due This Period (less any Late Payment Fee for the current billing cycle) and Amount Past Due are not received 
by 5:00 p.m. PT on the Payment Due Date shown on your statement, a Late Payment Fee of up to $35.00 will be charged to your Account. 

12. OTHER CHARGES: In addition to the fees and charges described above, other charges that may be imposed on your Account include the following: (1) Returned 
Payment Fee: If a payment is returned for any reason, a Returned Payment Fee of up to $35.00 will be charged to your Account; (2) Duplicate Statement Fee: If you 
request a duplicate copy of a monthly statement, you will be charged a fee of up to $10.00 for each statement copy requested; (3) Sales Slip Request Fee: If you 
request a copy of a sales slip, for any purpose other than to resolve a dispute about the charges on your Account, you will be charged a fee of $6.00 for each sales 
slip copy requested; (4) Co-applicant Fee: To add an additional Cardholder to the Account after it is opened, an application must be submitted to Credit One Bank. The 
co-applicant fee in effect at the time of such application will be required; and (5) Replacement Card Fee: If you request a replacement card, a Replacement Card Fee 
of $25.00 may be charged to your Account.

13. MINIMUM PAYMENTS: (a) You agree to pay either the entire outstanding balance or the Minimum Payment Due, as shown on your monthly statement. The Minimum 
Payment Due is 5% of your outstanding balance, rounded up to the next whole dollar, or $25.00, whichever is greater, plus any Late Payment Fee for the current billing 
cycle, and any Past Due Amount. For your Account to be considered current and to avoid a Late Payment Fee, you must pay at least the Amount Due This Period (less 
any Late Payment Fee for the current billing cycle) and the Past Due Amount by the Payment Due Date shown on your statement. (b) Certain other service fees may 
be added to your minimum payment amount. When you sign up for such services, you will be notified if a fee for the service will be imposed and if it is required to be 
added to your minimum payment.

14. SMALL BALANCES: As it is uneconomical for both you and us to process payments or maintain credits that are $1.00 or less in amount, you agree as follows: (1) 
In any billing cycle in which you have had no transactions and your New Balance on the billing date is $1.00 or less, the balance will be rounded to zero and you will not 
receive a bill for this amount. (2) In the event that you have a credit balance of $1.00 or less for two consecutive billing cycles, the balance will be rounded to zero and 
you will not receive a refund of this amount.

15. MAKING PAYMENTS: Your payments must be made in US currency only, drawn on a bank domiciled in the US, through paper or electronic format not to include 
wire transfer or electronic transactions via Credit One Bank’s account at the Federal Reserve Bank. Do not send cash through the mail, as Credit One Bank cannot 
be responsible for cash lost in the mailing process. To the extent that a payment reduces the principal amount outstanding on your Card Account, new credit will be 
available (subject to your credit limit), but only after 12 calendar days after our receipt of the payment. To insure prompt posting of payments sent through the mail, your 
payments must be sent to the address indicated on your statement and must be received by 5:00 p.m. PT. There will be a delay in posting payments to your Account for 
payments not sent to the address shown on your statement. You agree that we may process any item delivered to us for payment on the day it is received, and that we 
are not required to honor special instructions or restrictive endorsements. As described above, if any payment is received that does not contain your Account number 
or is not accompanied by your payment coupon, Credit One Bank will not be liable for processing delays or failure to process the payment to your Account. Crediting of 
such payments may be delayed up to five business days of receipt.

16. POSTDATED CHECKS: You agree that we need not examine any payment check to confirm that it is not postdated, and that we may deposit any postdated check 
for payment to us on the day we receive it.

17. IRREGULAR PAYMENTS: Any payment submitted in offer of settlement of a disputed debt, including any check containing a notation such as “paid in full,” must be 
sent to the following address: Credit One Bank, P.O. Box 95516, Las Vegas, NV 89193-5516. If you do not forward any check or other payment marked “paid in full” to 
the above address, we can accept late payments or partial payments, or checks or other payments marked with similar notations, without losing any of our rights under 
this Agreement, including our right to seek payment of the full balance of your Account.

18. VERIFICATION OF INFORMATION: (a) Credit Information: You authorize us to obtain and/or use information about you from third parties and credit reporting 
agencies to: 1) verify your identity and/or conduct investigative inquiries; 2) determine your income and credit eligibility; 3) review your Account and provide renewal 
of credit; 4) verify your current credit standing in order to present future credit line increases or decreases; 5) qualify you for and present additional lines of credit or 
other offers; and 6) collect amounts owing on your Account. California residents, you agree to waive your right to keep confidential information under Section 1808.21 
of the California Vehicle Code from us. (b) Reporting Information: We may furnish information concerning your Account or credit file to consumer reporting agencies 
and others who may properly receive that information. However, we are not obligated to release such information to anyone unless we are required to do so by law or a 
proper Power of Attorney is provided. (c) Telephone Monitoring: To be sure that your inquiries are handled properly, courteously and accurately, some of the telephone 
calls between our employees and our customers are monitored by supervisory or management personnel. Recordings may be made of such calls for your protection.

19. COMMUNICATIONS: You are providing express written permission authorizing  Credit One Bank or its agents to contact you at any phone number (including mobile, 
cellular/wireless, or similar devices) or email address you provide at anytime, for any lawful purpose. The ways in which we may contact you include live operator, 
automatic telephone dialing systems (auto-dialer), prerecorded message, text message or email. Phone numbers and email addresses you provide include those you 
give to us, those from which you contact us or which we obtain through other means. Such lawful purposes include, but are not limited to: obtaining information; 
activation of the card for verification and identification purposes; account transactions or servicing related matters; suspected fraud or identity theft; collection on the 
Account; and providing information about special products and services. You agree to pay any fee(s) or charge(s) that you may incur for incoming communications from 
us or outgoing communications to us, to or from any such number or email address, without reimbursement from us.

20. DEFAULT: You will be in default under this Agreement if any of the following events occur: (1) you exceed your assigned credit limit; (2) you fail to make any 
required payment when due; (3) you die, become insolvent, file a petition in bankruptcy or similar proceeding, or are adjudged bankrupt; (4) you provide any false or 
misleading financial or biographical information to Credit One Bank; (5) any representation or warranty you make to Credit One Bank is false or breached; (6) a guardian, 
conservator, receiver, custodian or trustee is appointed for you; (7) you are generally not paying your debts as they become due; (8) the Bank reasonably believes there 
has been a material adverse change in your financial condition; or (9) you violate any term of this Agreement. Upon your default, Credit One Bank can close or refuse to 
renew your Account, demand the return of your card(s), declare your entire balance immediately due and payable, and initiate collection activity, all without prior notice 
or demand. You promise to pay any collection costs and attorneys’ fees, including our in-house attorneys’ costs, that Credit One Bank incurs as a result of your default.

21. TERMINATION OF ACCOUNT: This Account may be terminated by you at any time by giving notice in writing to Credit One Bank. Credit One Bank may terminate the 
Account and demand payment in full if you are in default under any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or if there is a dispute between the Cardholders as 
described elsewhere in this Agreement, or if a Cardholder requests termination of the Account privileges of any other Cardholder, or without cause if Credit One Bank 
deems termination of the Account to be in its best interests. In the event of voluntary or involuntary Account termination, all credit privileges under the Account and 
Credit One Bank membership will be terminated immediately. Once we receive your final payment in full, processing of Account closure may be delayed up to 45 days, 
in order to ensure that all outstanding credit card charges have been received from merchants. No later than the end of the delay period Credit One Bank will send you 
a check for the credit balance remaining on the Card Account, if any. Credit One Bank may require the return of any Credit Cards before issuing a refund check. However, 
when your Account is closed, if there is: (1) a debit balance of $1.00 or less, that balance will be rounded to zero and you will not be required to pay this amount; or (2) 
a credit balance of $1.00 or less, that balance will be rounded to zero and this amount will not be refunded to you. The rounding to zero may occur after your closing 
statement cycles, and you may not receive a statement reflecting the rounding.

22. SECURITY: This is an unsecured Account, and Credit One Bank retains no security interest in your real or personal property to secure payment of your Card Account.

23. CARD OWNERSHIP AND ACCEPTANCE: Any credit card or other credit instrument issued to you remains the property of Credit One Bank and must be surrendered 
to Credit One Bank or its agent on demand. We are not liable for the refusal of Credit One Bank or any other party to honor your Card for any reason. All Cards have an 
expiration date. We have the right not to renew your Card for any reason.

24. FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS: If you make a transaction at a merchant that settles in a currency other than U.S. dollars, MasterCard Worldwide or Visa Inc. will convert 
that charge into a U.S. Dollar amount. That conversion will be done at a rate selected by MasterCard or Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency 
markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate MasterCard or Visa itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for 
the applicable central processing date. The currency conversion rate used on the processing date may differ from the rate that would have been used on the purchase 
date or on the date the transaction is posted to your Account. You agree to pay the converted amount, including any charges for the conversion that may be imposed 
as described above. A fee may be imposed for foreign transactions as described under the Finance Charge section of this Agreement.

25. LOST OR STOLEN CARDS: You may be liable for unauthorized use of your Card. If your Card is lost or stolen or you suspect that someone is using your Card without 
your permission, you should immediately notify Credit One Bank’s Bank Card Center. You can call (877) 825-3242. You can also notify us in writing at Bank Card 
Center, P.O. Box 98872, Las Vegas, NV 89193-8872. You will not be liable for any unauthorized use that occurs after you notify us, orally or in writing, of the loss, 
theft or possible unauthorized use. In any event, your liability for unauthorized use will not exceed $50. If you allow someone to use your Card to make charges to your 
Card Account, you can terminate this user’s authority by retrieving the Card and returning it to us. Until you do, you remain liable for any use by the authorized user. You 
understand and agree that this Card Account may be replaced with a substitute Account if a credit card for this Account is lost or stolen, or in the event unauthorized 
use of the Account is reported. All terms and conditions of this Agreement and the application shall apply to any substitute Account.

26.  CREDIT  LIMIT  INCREASE  REQUESTS:  Credit  Limit  Increase  requests  must  be  made  in  accordance  with  procedures  established  from  time  to  time  by  Credit 
One Bank. A fee may be imposed for credit limit increases. The fee imposed will be a Finance Charge of between $0.00 and $49.00, depending on how long your 
Account has been established and your credit history with us and others. We will advise you which fee is applicable to your Account at the time you apply for a credit 
limit increase. Credit limit increase requests are subject to the same credit process as your original application, including review of credit bureau information. You 
will be notified by mail if your request for an increase is declined. Approval will be indicated in the form of a credit limit increase on your Card Account statement. For 
information on Credit One Bank’s procedure for applying for a credit limit increase, contact us at (877) 825-3242.

27. WAIVER OF RIGHTS: If we waive any of our rights under this Agreement, we will not be obligated to do so again.

28. CUSTOMER PRIVACY: The privacy policy for Credit One Bank is provided separately in accordance with applicable law.

29. GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement is governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws applicable to national banks, and, where no such laws apply, by the 
laws of the State of Nevada, excluding the conflicts of law provisions thereof, regardless of your state of residence.

30. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: The Arbitration Agreement provided to you with this Agreement governs the enforcement by you and us of your and our legal rights 
under this Agreement.

 YOUR BILLING RIGHTS - KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE

What To Do If You Find a Mistake on Your Statement
If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at: Bank Card Center, P.O. Box 98872, Las Vegas, NV 89193-8872. 
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 at 877-825-3242, 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 anadvertisement 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 donot 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: Bank 

Card Center, P.O. Box 98872, Las Vegas, NV 89193-8872. 

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.

ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION OF YOUR CARD AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT PROVIDES THAT EITHER YOU OR WE CAN REQUIRE THAT ANY CONTROVERSY OR 
DISPUTE BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION REPLACES THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A JURY AND THE RIGHT 
TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING. IN ARBITRATION, A DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE 
OR JURY. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. IN ARBITRATION, YOU MAY CHOOSE TO HAVE A 
HEARING AND BE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL.
Agreement to Arbitrate:
You and we agree that either you or we may, without the other’s consent, require that any controversy or dispute between you and us (all of which are called “Claims”), 
be submitted to mandatory, binding arbitration. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by, 
and enforceable under, the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq., and (to the extent State law is applicable), the State law governing this Agreement.
Claims Covered:
•  Claims subject to arbitration include, but are not limited to, disputes relating to the establishment, terms, treatment, operation, handling, limitations on or termination 
of your account; any disclosures or other documents or communications relating to your account; any transactions or attempted transactions involving your account, 
whether authorized or not; billing, billing errors, credit reporting, the posting of transactions, payment or credits, or collections matters relating to your account; 
services or benefits programs relating to your account, whether or not they are offered, introduced, sold or provided by us; advertisements, promotions, or oral or 
written statements related to (or preceding the opening of) your account, goods or services financed under your account, or the terms of financing; the application, 
enforceability or interpretation of this Agreement, including this arbitration provision; and any other matters relating to your account, a prior related account or the 
resulting relationships between you and us. Any questions about what Claims are subject to arbitration shall be resolved by interpreting this arbitration provision in 
the broadest way the law will allow it to be enforced.

•  Claims subject to arbitration include not only Claims made directly by you, but also Claims made by anyone connected with you or claiming through you, such as a 
co-applicant or authorized user of your account, your agent, representative or heirs, or a trustee in bankruptcy. Similarly, Claims subject to arbitration include not 
only Claims that relate directly to us, a parent company, affiliated company, and any predecessors and successors (and the employees, officers and directors of all 
of these entities), but also Claims for which we may be directly or indirectly liable, even if we are not properly named at the time the Claim is made.

•  Claims subject to arbitration include Claims based on any theory of law, any contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud or any intentional tort), 
common law, constitutional provision, respondeat superior, agency or other doctrine concerning liability for other persons, custom or course of dealing or any other 
legal or equitable ground (including any claim for injunctive or declaratory relief). Claims subject to arbitration include Claims based on any allegations of fact, 
including an alleged act, inaction, omission, suppression, representation, statement, obligation, duty, right, condition, status or relationship.

•  Claims  subject  to  arbitration  include  Claims  that  arose  in  the  past,  or  arise  in  the  present  or  future.  Claims  are  subject  to  arbitration  whether  they  are  made 
independently or with other claims in proceedings involving you, us or others. Claims subject to arbitration include Claims that are made as counterclaims, cross-
claims, third-party claims, interpleaders or otherwise, and a party who initiates a proceeding in court may elect arbitration with respect to any Claim(s) advanced in 
the lawsuit by any other party or parties. Claims subject to arbitration include Claims made as part of a class action or other representative action, and the arbitration 
of such Claims must proceed on an individual basis.
If you or we require arbitration of a particular Claim, neither you, we, nor any other person may pursue the Claim in any litigation, whether as a class action, private 
attorney general action, other representative action or otherwise.

• 

•  Claims are not subject to arbitration if they are filed by you or us in a small claims court, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only an individual 

claim for relief.

Initiation of Arbitration: The party filing an arbitration must choose an arbitration administrator. Arbitration administrators are independent from us, and you must 
follow their rules and procedures for initiating and pursuing an arbitration. If you initiate the arbitration, you must also notify us in writing at Credit One Bank, P.O. Box 
95516, Las Vegas, NV 89193-5516. If we initiate the arbitration, we will notify you in writing at your then current billing address or (if your account is closed) the last 
address we have on file for you. Any arbitration hearing that you attend will be held at a place chosen by the arbitrator or arbitration administrator in the same city as the 
U.S. District Court closest to your billing address, or at some other place to which you and we agree in writing. You may obtain copies of the current rules of the arbitration 
administrators, and other related materials, including forms and instructions for initiating an arbitration, by contacting the arbitration administrators as follows:

American Arbitration Association

Procedures and Law Applicable in Arbitration: A single arbitrator will resolve Claims. The arbitrator will either be a lawyer with at least ten years experience or a retired 
or former judge. The arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the rules of the arbitration administrator and will be neutral. The arbitration will be conducted under 
the applicable procedures and rules of the arbitration administrator that are in effect on the date the arbitration is filed unless this arbitration provision is inconsistent 
with those procedures and rules, in which case this Agreement will prevail. These procedures and rules may limit the amount of discovery available to you or us. The 
arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and will honor claims of privilege recognized at law. 
The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential information, including the use of protective orders to prohibit 
disclosure outside the arbitration, if requested to do so by you or us. The arbitrator will have the power to award to a party any damages or other relief provided for under 
applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against, or for the benefit of, any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any 
award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Upon a request by you or us, the arbitrator will provide a brief statement of 
the reasons for the award.

Costs: If we file the arbitration, we will pay the initial filing fee. If you file the arbitration, you will pay the initial filing fee, unless you seek and qualify for a fee waiver under 
the applicable rules of the arbitration administrator. We will reimburse you for the initial filing fee if you paid it and you prevail. If there is a hearing, we will pay any fees 
of the arbitrator and arbitration administrator for the first day of that hearing. All other fees will be allocated in keeping with the rules of the arbitration administrator 
and applicable law. However, we will advance or reimburse filing fees and other fees if the arbitration administrator or arbitrator determines there is other good reason 
for requiring us to do so, or we determine there is good cause for doing so. Each party will bear the expense of that party’s attorneys, experts, and witnesses, and other 
expenses, regardless of which party prevails, except that the arbitrator shall apply any applicable law in determining whether a party should recover any or all expenses 
from another party.

No Consolidation or Joinder of Parties: All parties to the arbitration must be individually named. Claims by persons other than individually named parties shall not 
be raised or determined. Notwithstanding anything else that may be in this arbitration provision or Agreement, no class action, private attorney general action or other 
representative action may be pursued in arbitration, nor may such action be pursued in court if any party has elected arbitration. Unless consented to by all parties 
to the arbitration, Claims of two or more persons may not be joined, consolidated or otherwise brought together in the same arbitration (unless those persons are 
applicants, co-applicants or authorized users on a single account and/or related accounts or parties to a single transaction or related transactions); this is so whether 
or not the Claims (or any interest in the Claims) may have been assigned.

Enforcement, Finality, Appeals: You or we may bring an action, including a summary or expedited motion, to compel arbitration of Claims subject to arbitration, or 
to stay the litigation of any Claims pending arbitration, in any court having jurisdiction. Such action may be brought at any time, even if any such Claims are part of a 
lawsuit, unless a trial has begun or a final judgment has been entered. Failure or forbearance to enforce this arbitration provision at any particular time, or in connection 
with any particular Claims, will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other Claims. Any additional or different 
agreement between you and us regarding arbitration must be in writing. Within fifteen days after an award by the single arbitrator, any party may appeal the award by 
requesting in writing a new arbitration before a panel of three neutral arbitrators designated by the same arbitration administrator. The panel will consider all factual 
and legal issues anew, follow the same rules that apply to a proceeding using a single arbitrator, and make decisions based on the vote of the majority. Costs will be 
allocated in the same way they are allocated for arbitration before a single arbitrator. An award by a panel, or an award by a single arbitrator after fifteen days has 
passed, shall be final and binding on the parties, subject to judicial review that may be permitted under the FAA. An award in arbitration will be enforceable as provided 
by the FAA or other applicable law by any court having jurisdiction. An award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations between the named parties only, 
and only in respect of the Claims in arbitration, and shall not have any bearing on the rights and obligations of any other person, nor on the resolution of any other 
dispute or controversy.

Severability, Survival: This arbitration provision shall survive: (i) termination or changes in the Agreement, the account and the relationship between you and us 
concerning the account; (ii) the bankruptcy of any party; and (iii) any transfer or assignment of your account, or any amounts owed on your account, to any other person. 
If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force.
