This is your Consumer Credit Card Agreement (“Agreement”) with Cedar Hill National Bank (CHNB). This Agreement governs the use of your Cato Credit Card Account. Your

handwritten, electronic, or digital signature on the application indicates that you agree to comply with the terms in this Agreement. The information about the costs of the card

described in this Agreement is accurate as of October, 2017. This information may have changed after that date. To find out what may have changed, write to us at CHNB,

9401 Southern Pine Blvd, Suite P, Charlotte, NC 28273.

1. AGREEMENT TERMS. The word Card refers to any credit cards issued to you or to an authorized user by Cedar Hill National Bank. The word Account refers to your Cato

Credit Card Account. The words “you,” “your,” and “yours” refer to you, the Cardholder, and any person or persons who also are contractually liable under this Agreement. The

words “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Cedar Hill National Bank and any person or entity to whom or to which this Agreement may be assigned.

2. ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT. The use of your Account or the Card by you or anyone whom you authorize or permit to use your Account or the Card means you accept this

Agreement. 

3. USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT AND THE CARD. You agree that you will only use your Account or the Card for personal, family, and household purposes. You may use your Account

or the Card at any Cato, It’s Fashion, or It’s Fashion Metro store. Prior to use, each Card must be signed by the person to whom it is issued.

4. PROMISE TO PAY. You agree to pay us in U.S. Dollars for all purchases, including applicable Interest Charges and other charges or fees, incurred by you or anyone you

authorize or permit to use your Account or the Card, even if you do not notify us that others are using your Account or the Card. All checks must be drawn on funds on deposit

in the U.S. We can accept late payments or partial payments or checks and money orders marked “payment in full” without losing any of our rights under this agreement.

5. INTEREST CHARGES. If the payments and credits in any billing period are less than the Previous Balance shown on your monthly statement for that period, Interest Charges

will begin to accrue on the first day of that billing period.  Partial payments made on balances that were subject to a grace period will be credited as of the first day in the

billing cycle. The Interest Charge will be computed as follows:  We will take the balance on your account at the beginning of each day of your billing period. To this beginning

balance (including any unpaid Interest Charges and unpaid late fees) we will add any new purchases and fees and we will subtract any new payments and credits. This is the

Daily Balance. The Daily Balances for each day of the billing period are added together and divided by the number of days in the billing period. This gives us the Average Daily

Balance.  To the Average Daily Balance, we will apply the monthly periodic rate of 1.9083% (Corresponding annual percentage rate 22.9%) to determine the Interest Charge.

6. A MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE.  We will charge you a minimum Interest Charge of $1 for any Billing Cycle in which an Interest Charge of less than $1 could otherwise be

 
 
charged.

7. MONTHLY STATEMENTS; BILLING CYCLES. We will send you a statement after each monthly Billing Cycle in which you have a debit or credit balance, an Interest Charge is

imposed, or applicable law requires us to send a Statement. The Statement will show the Previous Balance, Payments and Credits, Purchases, Interest Charges, other Fees and

Charges, Payment Due Date, New Balance and Minimum Payment Due. Purchases will be identified by the amount and date of the transaction, and an abbreviated

merchandise description.  A Billing Cycle means the days between Statement Closing Dates.

8. METHODS OF PAYMENT.   You may at any time pay the entire New Balance shown on your billing statement, but each month you must pay at least the Minimum Payment

Due. All payments must be mailed or delivered to us at the address shown on your monthly billing statement. All payments will be applied in the following order: Interest

Charges and other charges or fees and purchases in the order made.

9. MINIMUM MONTHLY PAYMENT. If your ‘New Balance’ is $200 or less, your minimum monthly payment is $10.00 or the balance whichever is less.   If your account balance

is greater than $200, the minimum monthly payment is 5% of the New Balance  The minimum payment will include any past due amounts or payment shortfalls rounded up to

the next highest dollar.

10. CREDIT LIMIT.  We may increase or decrease your available credit from time to time.  We have the right at any time to limit or terminate the use of your Account without

giving you notice in advance, unless we are required to give you notice by law.  If you exceed or attempt to exceed your line of credit, you may be declared in default.

11. CREDIT BALANCES. We will refund any credit balance within seven business days from receipt of your written request mailed to us at CHNB, 9401 Southern Pine Blvd,

Suite P, Charlotte, NC 28273.

12. GRACE PERIOD.  You will have a grace period of at least 28 days from your closing date in which to pay your balance in full each month.  If the balance on your account is

paid in full within this grace period, no Interest Charge will be added to your account.

13. LATE PAYMENT FEE. A Late Payment Fee of up to $20.00 will be added to your account for each billing period in   which you fail to make a minimum payment within 10

days after your payment due date. If you do not make at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date each month, you will be in default.

14. RETURNED PAYMENT FEE. A Returned Payment Fee of up to $25.00 will be assessed on accounts, as permitted by law, whenever a check or other payment device

presented on an account is returned to us unpaid by your bank or financial institution.

15. PAY BY PHONE FEE.  Each time you ask a customer service representative to assist you in making an expedited automated payment from your bank account, we may add

a service fee to the balance of your account if permitted by applicable law.   The amount of the fee will be disclosed at the time you request this optional payment service.

16. DEFAULT/COLLECTION COSTS. Your account will be in default if you fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement, subject to any restrictions under applicable law. If that

happens, we may tell you to pay us immediately everything you owe under the Account and applicable law. We will tell you in advance and/or give you an opportunity to cure

your default only if applicable law requires us to do so. If you are in default and we refer the collection on your Account to an attorney, we may charge to you reasonable

attorney’s fees and court or other collection costs as permitted by law.

Account or the Card on or after the effective date of the change means that you accept and agree to the change. We have the right to change your terms, rates, and fees at any

time, for any reason, in accordance with the credit card agreement and applicable law.

19. CREDIT AUTHORIZATION. Some purchases will require our prior authorization and you may be asked to provide identification. If our authorization system is not working,

telephone number, you consent to receiving autodialed and prerecorded message calls from us or our servicers, assignees, or third party debt collectors at that number. We

may monitor and/or record telephone calls between you and us to assure we are providing you with our high standard of customer service. You agree that monitoring and/or

recording may be done and that no additional approval from you is needed.

Your Billing Rights: Keep This Document For Future Use

This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.

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: Cedar Hill National Bank, 9401 Southern Pine Blvd, Suite P, Charlotte, NC 28273

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 to not 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:

Cedar Hill National Bank

Cedar Hill National Bank 

9401 Southern Pine Blvd, Suite P, 

Charlotte NC 28273

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.
