Milestone® Gold MasterCard® Cardholder Agreement

F03-W430-1

Dear Cardholder: 
This  Cardholder  Agreement,  along  with  your  Application,  Card,  Card 
Carrier, and the written materials containing the terms of our agreement 
with you described in the next paragraph (collectively, the “Agreement”), 
is  your  contract  concerning  the  use  of  your  Account.  The  Agreement 
contains  certain  disclosures  required  by  the  Federal  Truth  in  Lending 
Act, along with important information about your Account. We encourage 
you  to  read  all  of  the  Agreement  and  keep  it  for  your  records.  Please 
feel free to call us with any questions you may have. We look forward to 
serving you. 

CARDHOLDER AGREEMENT 

This  Agreement  contains  the  terms  that  govern  the  use  of  your  Milestone  Gold  MasterCard 
Account and outlines both your responsibilities and ours. Please read it in its entirety and keep it 
for your reference. In addition, any written application, acceptance certificate or other request you 
signed or otherwise submitted for this Account (the “Application”), your Card and the Card Carrier 
that  we  send  with  your  Card,  and  your  signature  (including  any  electronic  or  digital  signature) 
on  any  Application,  sales  slip  or  other  evidence  of  indebtedness  on  your  Account,  are  hereby 
incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. This Agreement begins on the earlier of (i) 
the date you sign or otherwise submit an Application that is approved by us, or (ii) the first date that 
we extend credit to you on your Account, as evidenced by a signed sales slip or memorandum, a 
Cash Advance transaction, or otherwise. 

Definitions 
To simplify this Agreement for you, the definitions listed below will apply throughout, both in this 
Agreement and in your monthly Statements. In addition, the words you, your, and yours refer to the 
Cardholder(s) who holds the Card and is responsible for the Account, each of whom is individually 
and jointly obligated under this Agreement. The words we, us, and our refer to Mid America Bank 
& Trust Company, Dixon, Missouri. 
Account: The credit card account for which you were issued a Card imprinted with your Account 
number and that is subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
ATM: Automated Teller Machine. 
Authorized User: Person who may use the Card but is not responsible for the repayment of the 
Account. Person must be at least 16 years of age. 
Billing Cycle: The time interval covered by a monthly Statement. Each Billing Cycle is approximately 
30 days in length; however, the specific period of time is described on each monthly Statement. 
Your Account will have a Billing Cycle even if a Statement is not required. 
Card: Any Milestone Gold MasterCard issued by us that you may use to obtain a Cash Advance, 
make Purchases, or lease goods or services on credit. Use of your Account number to obtain 
credit will be considered a use of the Card. 
Card Carrier: The carrier that contains your Card. 
Cardholder: The person to whom a Card is issued, or who has agreed to pay obligations arising 
from a Card issued to another person. 
Cash Advance: Credit extended to you in the form of a cash loan through any financial institution 
honoring the Card either presented directly or through any other credit instrument, check, device, 
overdraft coverage plan or ATM that we make available to you or that you use. All cash equivalent 
transactions will be treated as Cash Advances and will be billed to the Cash Advance segment 
of  your  Account.  Transactions  that  we  view  as  “cash  equivalent  transactions”  include  without 
limitation using your Card to purchase wire transfer money orders, bets, lottery tickets, casino 
gaming chips, and other similar products and services. 
Closing Date: The date of the last day of a Billing Cycle. 
Credit Limit: The maximum amount of credit available to you on your Account. Your Credit Limit 
will be disclosed on your Card Carrier and your monthly Statements. 
Purchase: Any extension of credit to your Account for the purpose of purchasing or leasing goods 
or services from participating establishments. 
Statement:  A  monthly  document  we  provide  to  you  showing  Account  information  including, 
among other things, Purchase and Cash Advance transactions, credits and debits, payments, fees, 
and interest charges made to your Account during a Billing Cycle. 

Purchases and Cash Advances 
You may use your Card to purchase or lease goods or services from participating establishments. 
You  may  also  use  your  Card  to  obtain  Cash  Advances  from  your  Account  at  an  ATM,  or  by 
presenting it to any institution that accepts the Card for that purpose. There are dollar limitations 
on individual Cash Advance transactions, and we may set a Cash Advance Limit for your Account. 
Please contact us for information about the Cash Advance limitations that apply to your Account. 
In addition, we may limit your Account to only one Cash Advance transaction per day. 
You promise to pay us and are liable for all amounts resulting from the authorized use of your Card 
or Account, plus any applicable interest charges and other applicable charges or fees, payable in 
U.S. dollars. This includes amounts where you did not sign a purchase slip or other documents for 
the transaction. If you use your Account number without presenting your actual Card, such as for 
mail, telephone, or internet purchases, this will be treated the same way as if you presented your 
Card. Your promise to pay us will apply to your estate if you die. 
We  may  limit  and  restrict  the  use  of  the  Account/Card  at  our  discretion.  Such  limitations  and 
restrictions  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  gambling  transactions,  which  include,  but  are  not 
limited to, internet-related lottery tickets, casino gambling chips, off-track betting and wagers at 
racetracks. You remain responsible for use of your Account/Card in any such transactions. 
The Card may only be used for valid and lawful purposes. If you use, or you authorize someone 
else to use, the Card or Account for an unlawful or impermissible purpose, you will be responsible 
for such use and may be required to reimburse us or MasterCard for any amounts or expenses we 
or they incur as a result of such use. 
The Card is and remains our property, and you will surrender it to us at any time upon request. 

Your Credit Limit 
You may not use your Account in any way that would cause you to go over your Credit Limit. We 
may refuse to authorize or accept any transaction on your Account that would cause you to exceed 
your Credit Limit, even if you have authorized us to charge you an Overlimit Fee for doing so. We 
may temporarily agree to allow you to exceed your Credit Limit; however, in that case you must 
repay the excess amount according to the terms of this Agreement. Any transactions honored in 
excess of your Credit Limit will not result in an increase of your Credit Limit. We may at any time 
and without prior notice to you increase or decrease your Credit Limit, limit the Credit Limit for 
Cash Advances or take away your ability to obtain Cash Advances. 

MAKING PAYMENTS 

Monthly Statements 
We  will  send  a  Statement  at  the  end  of  each  monthly  Billing  Cycle  if  there  is  a  debit  or  credit 
balance on your account of $1 or more, a balance on which an interest charge has been imposed, 
or as otherwise required by applicable law. You agree to pay us, or any party to whom we may 
transfer  and  assign  your  Account  or  the  amounts  owing  under  your  Account,  in  U.S.  dollars 
according  to  all  terms  and  conditions  of  this  Agreement.  Payments  made  by  a  check,  money 
order or other negotiable instrument must be in a form acceptable to us and drawn on a U.S. 
financial institution. 

Monthly Minimum Payment 
The Monthly Minimum Payment is 7% of your New Balance or $40, whichever is greater. If you 
elect not to pay your New Balance in full, you must pay at least the Monthly Minimum Payment 
by the Payment Due Date shown on your Statement, which is at least 25 days after the Closing 
Date of the Billing Cycle. Your Monthly Minimum Payment also will include any past due amount 
or any amount by which the New Balance exceeds your Credit Limit, whichever is greater. If your 
New Balance is less than or equal to your Monthly Minimum Payment, then your Monthly Minimum 
Payment will be equal to your New Balance. 
Payments should be mailed with the payment coupon and in the envelope provided and following 
the other instructions on the Statement to Bankcard Services, P.O. Box 84059, Columbus, GA, 
31908-4059.  Any  payment  received  in  that  form  and  at  that  address  on  or  before  5:00  P.M., 
Eastern Time, on a normal banking day will be credited to your Account that day. If your payment 
is received in that form and at that address after 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on a normal banking day, 
or any time on a non-banking day, we will credit it to your Account the next banking day. However, 
if your Payment Due Date occurs on a non-banking day, any payment received the next day which 
conforms to the above requirements will not be treated as late. Please allow at least seven (7) 
business days for postal delivery. Payments received by us at any other location or in any other 
form may not be credited as of the day we receive them. 
If we accept a payment at a place other than the address in the immediately preceding paragraph, 
we may delay the crediting of the payment for up to five (5) days. This may cause you to incur 
Late Payment Fees and additional interest charges, and may result in your Account being declared 
in default. 
We do not accept cash payments through the mail. You may not make payments with funds from 
your Account or any other credit account issued by us. 
When you provide a check as payment, you authorize us either to use information from your check 
to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account or to process the payment as a 
check transaction. When we use information from your check to make an electronic fund transfer, 
funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the same day we receive your payment 
and you will not receive your check back from your financial institution. 
At any time, you may pay part or all of the full amount you owe without incurring any additional 
charge for prepayment. The amount of any payment that exceeds your total New Balance will be 
applied as a credit to your Account, and any remaining credit balance will be refunded as required 
by law. 
Credit availability may be delayed at our sole discretion to ensure payment in good funds. Your 
available credit on your Credit Limit may not reflect your payments for up to 14 days. 

Application of Payments 
For each Billing Cycle, payments up to the amount of your Monthly Minimum Payment will be 
allocated  in  any  way  we  determine,  including  to  balances  with  lower  Annual  Percentage  Rates 
before  balances  with  higher  Annual  Percentage  Rates.  We  will  generally  apply  payments  up  to 
the amount of your Monthly Minimum Payment in a manner most favorable or convenient for us. 
For each Billing Cycle, to the extent your payments exceed your Monthly Minimum Payment, we 
will apply these excess amounts in the order required by applicable law. 

HOW INTEREST CHARGES ARE DETERMINED 

Your interest charge for any Billing Cycle will include the following components, the total of which 
constitutes your total interest charge for the Billing Cycle: 
1.  A Cash Advance Transaction Fee interest charge imposed on each Cash Advance transaction 
posted during a Billing Cycle, in an amount equal to the greater of $5 or 5% of the amount of 
each Cash Advance. Any unpaid Cash Advance Transaction Fee interest charges will be added 
to the calculation of your Average Daily Balance of Cash Advances. We will not charge any 
Cash Advance Transaction Fees, however, during the one-year period beginning on the date you 
open your Account. 

2.  Periodic interest charge computed by applying the applicable Monthly Periodic Rate or Rates, 
determined as provided below under Computing the Purchase and Cash Advance Balance 
Monthly Periodic Rates and Corresponding Annual Percentage Rates (APR) to: 
a.  your Average Daily Balance of Cash Advances (including new Cash Advances); and 
b.  your Average Daily Balance of Purchases (including new Purchases). 
However, if the total of the amounts so computed is an amount less than $.50, then a minimum 
interest charge of $.50 will be imposed instead of such smaller amounts and will be treated as 
an interest charge on Purchases. 

3.  A Foreign Currency Conversion Fee interest charge in an amount equal to 1% of the converted 
U.S.  dollar  amount  of  each  transaction,  including  Cash  Advances  and  Purchases,  that  is 
effected in any currency other than U.S. dollars. 

When Interest Charges Begin to Accrue 
Interest charges on Purchases will be imposed at the applicable Monthly Periodic Rate from the 
date  each  Purchase  is  made,  and  will  continue  to  accrue  on  unpaid  balances  as  long  as  they 
remain unpaid. However, we do not assess interest charges in the following circumstances: 
1.  If you paid the New Balance at the beginning of your previous Billing Cycle by the Payment Due 
Date during the previous Billing Cycle, or if that New Balance was $0 or a credit balance, then: 
a.  if you pay the New Balance on your current Statement in full by the Payment Due Date in 
your current Billing Cycle, we will not assess interest charges on Purchases during your 
current Billing Cycle; and 

b.  if you make a payment that is less than the New Balance by the Payment Due Date in your 
current Billing Cycle, we will credit that payment as of the first day in your current Billing 
Cycle. 

2.  If you had a New Balance at the beginning of your previous Billing Cycle and you did not pay 
that New Balance by the Payment Due Date during that previous Billing Cycle, then we will not 
assess interest charges on any Purchases during the current Billing Cycle if you pay the New 
Balance at the beginning of your current Billing Cycle by the Payment Due Date in your current 
Billing Cycle. 

Periodic interest charges on Cash Advances will be imposed at the applicable Monthly Periodic 
Rate from the date each Cash Advance is made and will continue to accrue on unpaid balances 
as long as they remain unpaid. There is no grace period on Cash Advances and there is no period 
within which to pay to avoid interest charges on Cash Advances. 

Calculating the Purchase and Cash Advance Balance Subject to Interest Charges 
Average  Daily  Balance  of  Purchases  (including  new  Purchases):  To  get  the  Average  Daily 
Balance  of  Purchases,  we  take  the  beginning  Purchase  balance  of  your  Account  each  day, 
including  unpaid  interest  charges  on  Purchases  and  Foreign  Currency  Conversion  Fee  interest 
charges on Purchases, add any new Purchases as of the date of transaction, and subtract the 
applicable portion of any payments and credits as of the transaction date. On the first day of a 
Billing Cycle, we also add any unpaid Late Payment Fees, and Overlimit Fees. We add all other 
unpaid  fees  (including  Annual  Fees,  Returned  Payment  Fees,  and  Foreign  Currency  Conversion 
Fees) to the Purchase balance on the day the fee is posted to your Account. This gives us the 
daily balance for Purchases. Then we add all these daily balances for the Billing Cycle together 
and divide the total by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. This gives us the Average Daily 
Balance of Purchases. 
Average Daily Balance of Cash Advances (including new Cash Advances): To get the Average 
Daily Balance of Cash Advances, we take the beginning Cash Advance balance of your Account 
each day, including unpaid interest charges on Cash Advances and Foreign Currency Conversion 
Fee interest charges on Cash Advances, add any new Cash Advances as of the date of transaction, 
add the Cash Advance Transaction Fee interest charge on any Cash Advances as of the transaction 
date of each Cash Advance, and subtract the applicable portion of any payments and credits as 
of the transaction date. This gives us the daily balance for Cash Advances. Then we add all these 
daily balances for the Billing Cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the Billing 
Cycle. This gives us the Average Daily Balance of Cash Advances. 

Computing the Purchase and Cash Advance Balance Monthly Periodic Rates and Corresponding 
Annual Percentage Rates (APR) 
Monthly  Periodic  Rates:  The  Monthly  Periodic  Rate  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  APR  by  12. 
The standard Purchase APR is 23.9% and the standard Monthly Periodic Rate for Purchases is 
1.9916%. The standard Purchase APR and Monthly Periodic Rate will apply to Purchases unless 
the penalty APR and Monthly Periodic Rate apply, as described in the next paragraph. 
The APR and Monthly Periodic Rate for Purchases will increase if we do not receive any Monthly 
Minimum Payment within 60 days of the date and time due. In such circumstance, the penalty 
APR and Monthly Periodic Rate will apply to your Purchases, including new Purchases and existing 
Purchase balances. The penalty Purchase APR is 29.9% and the penalty Monthly Periodic Rate 
for Purchases is 2.4916%. If we receive six consecutive Monthly Minimum Payments when due, 
then, starting with the next Billing Cycle, the penalty APR will no longer apply and the standard 
APR will apply to all Purchases. Otherwise, the penalty rate may continue to apply to your Account 
indefinitely. 
The Cash Advance APR is 29.9% and the Monthly Periodic Rate for Cash Advances is 2.4916%. 

OTHER FEES 

In addition to interest charges, a variety of fees may be applied to your Account, as set forth below. 

Annual Fee 
We will charge an initial Annual Fee of $50 to your Account on or about the date your Account 
is opened and then a renewal Annual Fee of $99 on or about each anniversary of that date. The 
initial Annual Fee is nonrefundable; the renewal Annual Fee is also nonrefundable unless you notify 
us to cancel your Account within 30 days from the mailing date of the billing Statement or other 
communication containing the renewal Annual Fee notice. 

Late Payment Fee 
If we do not receive your Monthly Minimum Payment by the Closing Date of the Billing Cycle in 
which  the  Payment  Due  Date  occurs  and  the  amount  past  due  on  your  Account  is  more  than 
$9.99, we will charge a Late Payment Fee to your Account. The Late Payment Fee is $27 if you 
were not charged a Late Payment Fee during any of the prior six Billing Cycles. Otherwise, the Late 
Payment Fee is $38. The Late Payment Fee will never exceed the amount of your most recently 
required Monthly Minimum Payment. 

Minimum Interest Charge Fee 
If the periodic interest charge amounts computed in the How Interest Charges Are Determined 
section are an amount less than $.50, then a Minimum Interest Charge Fee of $.50 will be charged 
instead of such smaller amounts and will be treated as a fee on your billing statement and added 
to your Purchases at our discretion. 

Returned Payment Fee 
If any payment on your Account is returned to us unpaid for any reason, we will charge a Returned 
Payment  Fee  to  your  Account.  The  Returned  Payment  Fee  is  $27  if  you  were  not  charged  a 
Returned Payment Fee during any of the prior six Billing Cycles. Otherwise, the Returned Payment 
Fee is $38. The Returned Payment Fee will never exceed the amount of your most recently required 
Monthly Minimum Payment. 

Overlimit Fee 
If you elected to have overlimit coverage, we may charge an Overlimit Fee when a transaction 
causes you to go over or remain over your Credit Limit during any Billing Cycle. We may also 
charge you two additional Overlimit Fees if your New Balance remains over your Credit Limit as of 
the Payment Due Date in future Billing Cycles. We will only charge you one Overlimit Fee per Billing 
Cycle, even if you go over your Credit Limit multiple times in the same Billing Cycle. The Overlimit 
Fee  is  $27  if  you  were  not  charged  an  Overlimit  Fee  during  any  of  the  prior  six  Billing  Cycles. 
Otherwise, the Overlimit Fee is $38. The Overlimit Fee will never exceed the maximum amount you 
are over your Credit Limit during the Billing Cycle. 

Documentation Fee 
You may request a copy of a Statement previously sent to you for a Documentation Fee of $3 per 
Statement, which will be applied to your Account. Copies of sales tickets or other items posted 
to your Account may be obtained for a Documentation Fee of $10 per sales ticket or other item, 
which will be applied to your Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not impose any fee 
in connection with a good faith assertion of a billing error or other exercise of your Billing Rights 
(see below under “Your Billing Rights - Keep This Notice for Future Use”). 

LOST CARDS AND UNAUTHORIZED USE 

You will take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized use of your Card and Account. If your 
Card is lost or stolen or if someone else might be using it without your permission, you must tell 
us at once. You may tell us by calling the telephone number on the back of your Card or on your 
Statement or by writing us at the address on your Statement. You will not be responsible for the 
charges  made  to  your  Account  that  are  found  by  us  to  be  unauthorized.  If  we  reimburse  your 
Account for unauthorized charges made using your Card or Account, you will help us investigate, 
pursue, and get reimbursement from the wrongdoer. Your help includes giving us documents that 
we ask for and are acceptable to us. 

OUR RIGHTS AND HOW THEY AFFECT YOU 

Telephone Monitoring and Recording; Communications 
You  consent  and  agree  that,  except  as  restricted  by  applicable  law,  we  may  monitor  or  record 
telephone  calls  regarding  your  Account,  suppress  caller  identification  services  and  use  an 
automated dialing and announcing system. If you provide us with a cellular phone number either as 
part of your application, or at any time thereafter, including, without limitation, after your Account 
is in a default status, you are expressly consenting that we and our agents may (i) contact you at 
that number including by text message, and (ii) use automated telephone dialing systems to initiate 
such contacts and/or leave recorded messages. 

. . . CONTINUED ON REVERSE

 
If you provide us at any time with an email contact for your Account, you agree we may use that 
email address to contact you about your Account and may send you information about products 
and services related to your Account. 
We or our representatives may contact you from time to time regarding the Account, or to ask for 
additional information about you or your experience with us. You agree that such contacts are not 
unsolicited and may include contacts at your home or place of employment, during weekdays, 
weekends or holidays, on your mobile telephone, voicemail or answering machine, or by email, 
fax, recorded message, text message or personal visit. 

Merchant Refunds 
If  a  merchant  agrees  to  give  you  a  refund  for  goods  or  services  purchased  with  your  Card  or 
Account, you will accept a credit on your Account instead of a cash refund. We do not control 
when  a  merchant  sends  us  your  refund  and  we  will  have  reasonable  amount  of  time  after  we 
receive your refund to process it. 

No Waiver of Rights; Disputed Amounts 
We can accept late or partial payments without losing any of our rights under this Agreement. 
You agree not to send us partial payments marked “paid in full,” “without recourse,” or similar 
language.  If  you  send  such  a  payment,  we  may  accept  it  without  losing  any  of  our  rights 
under  this  Agreement.  All  written  communications  concerning  disputed  amounts,  including 
any check or other payment instrument that indicated that the payment constitutes “payment 
in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full 
satisfaction of a disputed amount, must be mailed or delivered to Bankcard Services, P.O. Box 
4499, Beaverton, OR 97076. 

Credit Reports and Information 
You authorize us to make or have made any credit, employment, or other investigative inquiries 
we deem appropriate to extend you credit or collect amounts owed to us on your Account. We 
(including any assignee of the Account or amounts owing under the Account) may also obtain 
information  about  you  from  credit  reporting  agencies  or  others  at  any  time  and  use  it  for  the 
purposes of monitoring your credit performance, managing your Account and considering you 
for new offers and programs. 

Notice of Inaccurate Information 
If you believe that we have information about you that is inaccurate or that we have reported or 
may report to a credit reporting agency information about you that is inaccurate, please notify us 
of the specific information that you believe is inaccurate by writing to us at Bankcard Services, 
P.O. Box 4499, Beaverton, OR 97076. 

Default and Collection 
Unless prohibited by applicable law, your Account is considered to be in default if (1) you fail to 
make the required Monthly Minimum Payment on or before the Payment Due Date, including if 
your payment is returned or cannot be processed and you do not correct that failure within 31 
days, (2) you try to exceed or do exceed your Credit Limit without permission and do not bring 
your Account back under your Credit Limit within 31 days, (3) you become subject to bankruptcy 
or insolvency proceedings, (4) you become subject to attachment or garnishment proceedings, 
(5) you give us any false information or signature, (6) you die, or (7) you fail to comply with any 
portion of this Agreement. Our accepting a late or partial payment does not waive default. Default 
on this Account will constitute default on all accounts you hold with us. Subject to any notice 
of default and right to cure or other restrictions of applicable law, if you are in default, we may 
declare the entire balance due immediately. You agree to pay our reasonable costs and attorneys’ 
fees and expenses related to the collection of your Account, and retrieving your Card, to the extent 
permitted by applicable laws. 

Change of Terms 
Subject to the limitations of applicable law, we may, at any time, change or remove any of 
the terms and conditions of, or add new terms or conditions to, this Agreement. If required by 
applicable law, we will mail written notice of such a change to you in the manner required by 
such law. As of the effective date, the changed or new terms will apply to new Purchases and 
Cash Advances and also to the outstanding balance of your Account, subject to the limitations 
of applicable law. 

Delay in Enforcement 
We can delay enforcing our rights under this Agreement without losing them. 

OTHER PROVISIONS 

Ownership and Use of Your Card 
As  the  Cardholder(s),  you  are  liable  for  all  credit  obtained  under  your  Account.  If  you  or  an 
Authorized User authorizes another person to use your Card, you are liable for any credit obtained 
on  your  Account  for  as  long  as  that  person  holds  the  Card.  In  addition,  you  will  remain  liable 
until you recover possession of the Card. Misuse of your Card by an authorized person will not 
be considered unauthorized use. See “Lost Cards and Unauthorized Use” above. Upon demand, 
you must immediately return any Card we supply to you or destroy the Card by cutting it in half. 

Authorized Users 
You may ask us to add an Authorized User to your Account. If we agree to your request, we will 
issue a Card to the Authorized User. We may discuss your Account with an Authorized User and 
provide them with Account information. You will be responsible for the Authorized User’s use of 
the Card and Account as well as anyone else they allow to use your Card or Account. This will be 
true even if you did not want, or agree to, the use. 

Removing an Authorized User 
If you want to remove an Authorized User from your Account, you must contact us and request 
their removal. We will have a reasonable amount of time after we receive your request to remove 
them.  You  also  must  immediately  destroy  all  Cards  in  their  possession  and  cancel  all  of  their 
billing arrangements to the Account. We will not do this for you. During this time, you still will be 
responsible for all amounts they, or another person they authorize to use the Card, charge to the 
Account. You will be responsible even if these amounts do not appear on your Account until later.
An Authorized User may remove themselves from the Account upon their request. 

Transactions 
You will retain for Statement verification your copy of each Purchase slip, Cash Advance or other 
transaction to your Account. 

Transfer of Your Account 
You may not transfer your Account to any other person. We may assign your Account or amounts 
owing under your Account to any other person at any time and the assignee will take our place 
under the Agreement with respect to all agreements and interests transferred. You must pay the 
assignee and otherwise perform your obligations under the assigned agreements and interests. 

Closing or Suspending Your Account 
We may close or suspend your Account or your ability to obtain credit on your Account, or both, 
at any time, for any reason permitted by law and with or without advance notice. 
You  may  close  your  Account  at  any  time  by  contacting  us.  The  closure  of  Account  will  not 
become effective until you have returned to us all of the Cards we have given you. If you have a 
joint Account and want to remove one of the names from the Account, we must receive a written 
request signed by both of the Cardholders on the Account and all Cards must be returned upon 
request. No party is released from the obligation for the balance owing on a joint Account, unless 
we agree to the arrangements in writing. You may have to reapply for a new Card for an individual 
Account when you request a change from a joint Account to an individual Account. 
If  your  Account  is  closed  or  suspended  for  any  reason,  you  must  stop  using  your  Card.  You 
must also cancel all billing arrangements to the Account. We will not do this for you. If we close 
or permanently suspend your Account, you must also return all Cards to us. You must still pay 
us all amounts you owe on the Account, even if they are charged after your Account is closed 
or suspended. 

Additional Benefits and Services 
From time to time, we may offer you benefits and services with your Account. These benefits and 
services may be provided by us or third parties. Unless expressly made a part of this Agreement, 
and except as provided in the Arbitration of Disputes section below, any such benefits and services 
are not a part of this Agreement, and are subject only to the terms and conditions outlined in the 
benefits or services brochure and other official documents provided to you with respect to the 
benefits and services. We may adjust, add, or delete benefits or services at any time in accordance 
with the brochures or documents you receive. Except as required by applicable law, we are not 
liable for benefits or services provided by third parties or the actions or omissions of those third 
parties. 

Foreign Currency Conversion 
Payment must be made in U.S. Dollars for charges you incur in any other currency. If you effect 
a  transaction  with  your  Card  in  a  currency  other  than  U.S.  Dollars,  MasterCard  International 
Incorporated (“MasterCard”) will convert the charge into a U.S. Dollar amount. MasterCard will 
act  in  accordance  with  its  operating  regulations  or  conversion  procedures  in  effect  at  the  time 
that  the  transaction  is  processed.  Currently  the  currency  conversion  rate  used  by  MasterCard 
to  determine  the  transaction  amount  in  U.S.  Dollars  for  such  transactions  is  generally  either  a 
government  mandated  rate  or  a  wholesale  rate  determined  by  MasterCard  for  the  processing 
cycle in which the transaction is processed. The currency conversion rate used by MasterCard on 
the processing date may differ from the rate that would have been used on the Purchase date or 
monthly Statement posting date. We will also assess a Foreign Currency Conversion Fee interest 
charge as described in the “How Interest Charges are Determined” section. 

Honoring Your Card 
We are not responsible if anyone refuses to accept your Card or Account for any reason. Although 
you may have credit available, we may decline any transaction for any reason. We are not liable 
for any refusal to honor your Card or Account. 
From  time  to  time,  due  to  circumstances  beyond  our  control  (such  as  system  failures,  natural 
disasters, or other unpredictable events), our services may not be available. When this happens, 
you may be unable to use your Card or obtain information about your Account. We will not be 
responsible or liable if this happens. 

Change of Address, Employment and Telephone 
We will send all written notices and Statements to your address as it appears on our records. To 
avoid delays and missed payments that could affect your credit standing, you agree to promptly 
advise us if you change your mailing address, place of employment, or telephone number. 

Severability 
In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable for 
any reason, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. 

Entire Agreement; Interpretation 
This Agreement (including other documents incorporated herein by reference) constitutes the final 
expression of the credit agreement between you and us relating to your Account. The headings 
used in this Agreement are for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to define or 
describe the scope or intent of any portion of the Agreement. 

Governing Law 
This  Agreement  is  controlled  and  governed  by  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Missouri,  including 
Missouri Revised Statutes (Chapter 408 Legal Tender and Interest) Section 408.145, except to 
the extent that such laws are inconsistent with controlling federal laws. 

Arbitration of Disputes Provision 
PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PROVISION CAREFULLY. UNLESS YOU SEND 
US  THE  REJECTION  NOTICE  DESCRIBED  BELOW,  THIS  PROVISION  WILL  APPLY  TO  YOUR 
ACCOUNT, AND MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL 
ARBITRATION. THIS MEANS THAT: (1) NEITHER A COURT NOR A JURY WILL RESOLVE ANY 
SUCH DISPUTE; (2) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR 
PROCEEDING; (3) LESS INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE; AND (4) APPEAL RIGHTS WILL 
BE LIMITED. This provision replaces any existing arbitration provision with us and will stay in 
force no matter what happens to your Account, including the closing of your Account. 
Except  as  expressly  provided  below,  you  and  we  must  arbitrate  individually,  by  binding 
arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), any dispute or claim between you and 
any joint cardholder, on the one hand, and us, our affiliates and agents, on the other hand, 
if  the  dispute  or  claim  arises  out  of  or  is  related  to  (a)  this  Agreement  (including  without 
limitation, any dispute over the validity of this Agreement to arbitrate disputes or of this entire 
Agreement), or (b) your Account, or (c) any relationship resulting from this Agreement, or (d) 
any insurance or other service related to your Account, or (e) any other agreement related to 
your Account (including prior agreements) or any such service, or (f) breach of this Agreement 
or  any  other  such  agreement,  whether  based  on  statute,  contract,  tort  or  any  other  legal 
theory (any “Claim”). However, we will not require you to arbitrate: (1) any individual Claims 
in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, so long as it remains an individual case 
in that court; or (2) any Claim by us that only involves our effort to collect money you owe us. 
However, if you respond to a collection lawsuit by claiming that we engaged in wrongdoing, 
we may require you to arbitrate. 
YOU  AGREE  NOT  TO  PARTICIPATE  IN  A  CLASS,  REPRESENTATIVE  OR  PRIVATE  ATTORNEY 
GENERAL  ACTION  AGAINST  US  IN  COURT  OR  ARBITRATION.  ALSO,  YOU  MAY  NOT  BRING 
CLAIMS AGAINST US ON BEHALF OF ANY CARDHOLDER WHO IS NOT A JOINT CARDHOLDER 
WITH YOU OR AN AUTHORIZED USER ON YOUR ACCOUNT (AN “UNRELATED CARDHOLDER”), 
AND YOU AGREE THAT NO UNRELATED CARDHOLDER MAY BRING ANY CLAIMS AGAINST US 
ON YOUR BEHALF. CLAIMS BY YOU AND AN UNRELATED CARDHOLDER MAY NOT BE JOINED IN 
A SINGLE ARBITRATION. THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT HAVE THE POWER TO CONSIDER SUCH 
CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS OR ANY SUCH CLAIMS 
YOU BRING ON BEHALF OF AN UNRELATED CARDHOLDER. 
Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any dispute 
regarding  whether  a  particular  controversy  is  subject  to  arbitration  will  be  decided  by  the 
arbitrator(s). If any part of the damages or other relief requested is not expressly stated as a dollar 
amount, the controversy will be a Claim that is subject to arbitration. You and we acknowledge and 
agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any controversy that may arise 
under or relate to this Agreement, your Account, or the services or other agreements described 
above, involve “commerce” as that term is defined and used in the FAA. 
If you or we elect to arbitrate a claim, the electing party must notify the other party in writing. The 
notice can be given after the beginning of a lawsuit and can be given in papers filed in the lawsuit. 
Otherwise,  your  notice  must  be  sent  to  Bankcard  Services,  Attn:  Arbitration  Demand,  P.O.  Box 
4477, Beaverton, Oregon 97076-4477, and our notice must be sent to the most recent address 
for you in our files. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the 
“AAA”) under its rules in effect at the time an arbitration is commenced that are applicable to the 
resolution of consumer disputes (the “Arbitration Rules”). We will tell you how to contact the AAA 
and how to get a copy of the Arbitration Rules without cost if you ask us in writing to do so. The 
Arbitration Rules permit you to request deferral or reduction of the administrative fees of arbitration 
if paying them would cause you a hardship. In addition, if you ask us in writing, we will consider 
your request to pay any or all of your costs of arbitration. 
Each arbitrator shall be a licensed attorney who has been engaged in the private practice of law 
continuously during the ten years immediately preceding the arbitration or a retired judge of a court 
of general or appellate jurisdiction. The arbitration award shall award only such relief as a court 
of competent jurisdiction could properly award under applicable law, including attorneys’ fees if 
allowed by applicable law or agreement, and may award to the prevailing party all pre- and post-
award expenses of arbitration. All statutes of limitation, defenses, and attorney-client and other 
privileges that would apply in a court proceeding will apply in the arbitration. The filing of a demand 
for arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules will be deemed the commencement of an 
action for purposes of any applicable statute of limitations. 
This Agreement does not limit the right of you or us whether before, during or after the pendency 
of any arbitration proceeding, to exercise self-help remedies such as set-off or repossession and 
sale of collateral, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies or injunctive or other traditionally 
equitable relief (other than a stay of arbitration) necessary to protect the rights or property of the 
party seeking relief pending the arbitrator’s determination of the merits of the Claim. The taking 
of any of the actions described in the preceding sentence by either party or the filing of a court 
action by a party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to demand arbitration of any Claim 
asserted as a counterclaim or the like in response to any such action. This Agreement to arbitrate 
disputes will survive the closing of your Account and the termination of your Agreement with us. 
If  any  provision  of  this  Section  regarding  arbitration  of  disputes  shall  be  deemed  to  be 
unenforceable,  the  remainder  of  this  Section  shall  be  given  full  force  and  effect.  However,  if 
the provision precluding class, representative or private attorney general Claims in arbitration is 
deemed unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be void and of no force and 
effect. 
You may reject this provision, in which case only a court may be used to resolve any dispute 
or claim. Rejection will not affect any other aspect of the Cardholder Agreement. To reject this 
Provision,  you  must  send  us  a  notice  within  60  days  after  you  open  your  Account  or  we  first 
provide you with a right to reject this Provision. This notice must include your name, address and 
Account number and be mailed to Bankcard Services, Attn: Arbitration Provision, P.O. Box 4477, 
Beaverton, Oregon 97076-4477. This is the only way you can reject this Provision. 

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS – KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE 

This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act. 

What To Do If You Think You Find A Mistake On Your Statement 
If you think there is an error on your Statement, please write to us at: Bankcard Services, P.O. Box 
4499, Beaverton, OR 97076-4499. 
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 three (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 then 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 Bankcard Services, P.O. Box 4499, Beaverton, OR 97076-4499. 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.
