This Consumer Credit Card Agreement and Disclosure together with the Account Opening Disclosure and any other
Account opening documents or any subsequent documents provided to You related to this Account (hereinafter
collectively referred to as "Agreement") govern the terms and conditions of this Account. "We," "Us," "Our" and "Ours" and
"Credit Union" refers to Vantage West Credit Union with which this Agreement is made. "You," "Your," and "Yours" refers
to each applicant and co-applicant for the Account; any person responsible for paying the Account; and anyone You
authorize to use, access or service the Account. "Card" means the Visa® credit card and any other access devices,
duplicates, renewals, or substitutions, the Credit Union issues to You. "Account" means the line of credit established by
this Agreement and includes Your Card.
SECURITY INTEREST
You grant the Credit Union a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code and under any common law rights
the Credit Union may have in any goods You purchase.
If You give the Credit Union a specific pledge of shares by signing a separate pledge of shares, Your pledged shares
will secure Your Account. You may not withdraw amounts that have been specifically pledged to secure Your Account
until the Credit Union agrees to release all or part of the pledged amount.
You grant Us a security interest in all individual and joint share and/or deposit accounts You have with Us now
and in the future to secure Your credit card Account. Shares and deposits in an IRA or any other account that
would lose special tax treatment under state or federal law if given as security are not subject to the security
interest You have given in Your shares and deposits. You may withdraw these other shares unless You are in
default. When You are in default, You authorize Us to apply the balance in these accounts to any amounts due.
For example, if You have an unpaid credit card balance, You agree We may use funds in Your account(s) to pay
any or all of the unpaid balance. You acknowledge and agree that Your pledge does not apply during any
periods when You are a covered borrower under the Military Lending Act. For clarity, You will not be deemed a
covered borrower, and Your pledge will apply, if: (i) You established Your credit card Account when You were
not a covered borrower; or (ii) You cease to be a covered borrower.
Unless otherwise prohibited by federal and/or state law, collateral securing other loans You have with the Credit Union
may also secure this loan, except that a dwelling will never be considered as security for this Account, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any other Agreement.
1.
USING YOUR ACCOUNT By using the Account or keeping the Card, You agree to the terms of this Agreement.
You agree to use Your Account in accordance with this Agreement. Your Account must only be used for lawful
transactions.
2. CREDIT LIMIT - We may establish a credit limit as part of this Agreement, which You promise not to exceed. If You
exceed the credit limit, You promise to repay immediately the amount which exceeds the credit limit, including amounts
due to finance charges, fees or other charges. You may request a credit limit increase on Your Account only by a method
acceptable to the Credit Union. We may increase or decrease Your credit limit, refuse to make an advance and/or
terminate Your Account at any time for any reason permitted by law.
3. REPAYMENT - Each month You must pay at least the minimum payment shown on Your statement by the date
specified on the statement. You may pay more frequently, pay more than the minimum payment or pay the total new
balance in full. If You make extra or larger payments, You are still required to make at least the minimum payment each
month Your account has a balance (other than a credit balance). For our Visa Signature Connect Rewards card, the
minimum payment is 3.00% of Your total new balance, or $30.00, whichever is greater, plus the amount of any prior
minimum payments that You have not made, all outstanding unpaid fees and charges, and any amount You are over Your
credit limit by the date specified on the statement. For our Connect card, the minimum payment is 2.55% of Your total new
balance, or $30.00, whichever is greater, plus the amount of any prior minimum payments that You have not made, all

outstanding unpaid fees and charges, and any amount You are over Your credit limit by the date specified on the
statement. The Credit Union also has the right to demand immediate payment of any amount by which You are over Your
credit limit. In accordance with applicable law, the Credit Union may not post payments to your account or reflect them in
Your available credit limit on the date they are received. The Credit Union may delay replenishing Your credit limit until
the date the payment is posted or the Credit Union confirms the payment has cleared.
4. CHOICE OF LAW - This Agreement has been made by Us, delivered to Us, and accepted by Us and will be
performed by You and Us in the State of Arizona. Accordingly, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the validity,
interpretation, construction, enforcement, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Arizona.
5. VENUE AND JURISDICTION - You irrevocably agree with Us that any suit, action, or other legal proceedings
arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement will be brought and enforced exclusively in either: (1) the
competent courts of Arizona or (2) subject to Our sole and absolute election, the competent courts of any other state
(such as any other state in which any collateral for the loan is located or in which You reside) that affect the enforcement
of Our remedies under this Agreement. You hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court(s) and waive any
right You may have to request a change of venue or a removal to another court or to collaterally attack any judgment
obtained or action taken by Us in connection therewith. You further consent and agree to service of any summons,
compliant or other legal process in any such suit, action, or other legal proceeding by registered or certified U.S. mail,
postage prepaid, to You at the appropriate address You have provided to Us and consent and agree that such service
shall constitute in every respect valid and effective service (but nothing herein shall affect the validity or effectiveness of
process served in any other manner permitted by applicable law).
6. JURY TRIAL WAIVER - To the extent permitted by applicable law, You and We each knowingly, voluntarily,
intentionally, and irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury in any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising under or
relating to any provision of this Agreement.
7. INTEREST AND FINANCE CHARGES - We will begin charging You interest on purchases on the date the
transaction is posted to Your Account. We will begin charging You interest on cash advances and balance transfers
on
the date of the transaction or the first day of the billing cycle in which the transaction is posted to Your Account, whichever
is later (transaction date). However, We will not charge You any interest on new purchases if Your Account had a zero or
credit balance at the beginning of that billing cycle, or You paid the entire new balance on the previous cycle's billing
statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement. To avoid an additional finance charge on the balance of
purchases, You must pay the entire new balance on the billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement.
How We Calculate Your Balance:
Interest charges on Your Account are calculated separately for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances
("Transaction Type"). We figure the interest charge for each Transaction Type by applying the periodic rate to each
corresponding "average daily balance." To get the "average daily balance" for a Transaction Type We take the beginning
balance for that Transaction Type each day, add any new transactions of that type, and subtract any unpaid interest or
other finance charges and any applicable payments or credits. This gives Us the daily balance for each Transaction Type.
Then, for each Transaction Type, We add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide each total by the
number of days in the billing cycle. This gives Us the "average daily balance" for each Transaction Type.
8. FEES - In addition to the periodic rate, additional fees may be imposed on Your Account. If applicable to Your
Account, the fee amounts and explanations are disclosed on the Account Opening Disclosure accompanying this
Agreement.
9.
FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS - Purchases and cash advances made in foreign currencies will be debited from Your
Account in U.S. dollars. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing
international transactions is a rate selected by Visa from a range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the
applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives or the government-mandated
rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The exchange rate used on the processing date may differ from
the rate that would have been used on the purchase date or cardholder statement posting date.
A fee (finance charge) will be charged on all transactions completed outside of the United States, where the cardholder's
country code differs from the merchant's country code. A fee (finance charge) will be charged on all transactions
completed in a foreign currency. All fees are calculated based on the transaction amount after it is converted to U.S.
dollars. These fees are charged except where excluded. The Foreign Transaction Fee is set forth on the Disclosure
accompanying this Agreement.
10. AUTHORIZATIONS - We do not guarantee authorization of a transaction, either by Us or by a third party, even if
You have sufficient credit available. You agree that We will not be liable for failing to give an authorization. We also
reserve the right to limit the number of transactions that may be approved in one day. We reserve the right to deny certain
transactions for any reason and at Our sole discretion, including for default, suspected fraudulent or unlawful activity,
internet gambling or any indication of increased risk related to the transaction or the Account. You agree that We have no
requirement to notify You of the specific reason We denied a transaction. If We detect unusual or suspicious activity, We
may suspend Your credit privileges until We can verify the activity, or We may close the Account.

10200764-MXC30-C-1-091417 (MXC302-E)
11. PREAUTHORIZED CHARGES - If You default, if the Card is lost or stolen, or We change the Account for any
reason, We may suspend automatic charges with third party vendors. If preauthorized charges are suspended, You are
responsible for making direct payment for such charges until You contact the third party to reinstate the automatic
charges.
12. DEFAULT - You will be in default under this Agreement if You fail to pay the Minimum Payment Due by its Payment
Due Date; pay by a check or similar instrument that is not honored or that We must return because it cannot be
processed; pay by automatic debit that is returned unpaid; make any false or misleading statements in any credit
application or credit update; file for bankruptcy; or die. You will also be in default if You fail to comply with the terms of
this
Agreement or any other Agreement You have with Us.
If You default, We may close Your Account and require You to pay any unpaid balance immediately, subject to applicable
law. In this Agreement and on Your Credit Card Application, You gave Us a security interest in all individual or joint share
and/or deposit accounts with the Credit Union and authorized Us, if You defaulted, to apply the balance in these accounts
to any amounts due. You agree We may rely on Your agreement and authorization to, upon Your default, apply any
balance to any amounts due on Your Account.
13. LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE-LOST/STOLEN CARD NOTIFICATION - If You notice the loss or theft of
Your credit card or a possible unauthorized use of Your Card, You should write to Us immediately at PO Box 15115,
Tucson, AZ, 85708-0115 or call Us at (520) 298-7882, Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or (520) 751-7070 or

unauthorized use that occurs before Your notice to Us. You will have no liability for unauthorized use unless You are
found to be fraudulent or negligent in the handling of Your Account or Card. In any case, Your liability for unauthorized
transactions will not exceed $50.
14. CHANGING OR TERMINATING YOUR ACCOUNT - As permitted by law, the Credit Union may change the terms

applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, changes to the Agreement may apply to Your existing account balance as

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
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 or electronically at
the address listed on Your statement.
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.

During the first 12 consecutive months of Disability, Disability means You are unable because of a medically determined Accidental Injury or Sickness, to perform all of
the essential functions of Your occupation, and You are under the regular care and treatment of a licensed physician, other than You or a family member. After the first 12
consecutive months of Disability, the definition of Disability changes to mean that You are unable, because of a medically determined Accidental Injury or Sickness, to
perform the essential functions required of any occupation for which You are reasonably qualified by training, education or experience. You must be under the regular
care and treatment of a licensed physician, other than You or a family member. If You are not employed when Your Disability begins, Disability always means You are
unable, because of a medically determined Accidental Injury or Sickness, to perform the essential functions required of any occupation for which You are reasonably
qualified by training, education or experience.
To qualify for Disability protection, You must: (a) meet the definition of Disability for at least 30 consecutive days; and (b) not be actively working at any job or

Thereafter, We will continue to cancel Your scheduled monthly payment for each 30 days, consecutive or non-consecutive, that You are Disabled, up to a maximum of (a)
24 months or (b) $24,000. We will never cancel more than 12 monthly Protected Payments during a 12 month period. The calculation of the 12 month period begins on
the date Your benefits begin.
Cancellation of Your Protected Payment will stop the earliest of: (a) 24 months of Protected Payments have been cancelled; (b) $24,000 maximum per period of
Disability has been reached; (c) You no longer have a Protected Balance, Your Loan is paid-off or discharged for any reason; (d) the date You return to actively working

benefits for the period of unemployment for which You are requesting Protection Activation; (c) You are seeking Active Employment; and (d) You provide Us or Our
Administrator with proof of qualification for Involuntary Unemployment protection at the time of Protection Activation and throughout the protected period.
NOTE: An award for unemployment benefits from Your state agency does not guarantee cancellation of Your Protected Payment under this Contract.
After You have satisfied the waiting period and beginning with the 1st day of Your Involuntary Unemployment, We will cancel a minimum of 2 scheduled monthly
payment(s). Thereafter, We will continue to cancel Your scheduled monthly payment for each 30 days, consecutive or non-consecutive, that You are Involuntary
Unemployed, up to a maximum of (a) 6 months or (b) $3,000. We will never cancel more than 12 monthly Protected Payments during a 12 month period. The calculation

NON-PROTECTED EVENTS & ADVANCES
An event will not be protected under this Contract if it:
is the result of a felony committed by You;
-
is caused by or results from an atomic explosion or any other release of nuclear energy (except when used solely for medical treatment);
-
is the result of an elective cosmetic surgery;
-
is the result of an intentionally self-inflicted injury;
-
is the result of an assisted suicide or an attempted assisted suicide; or
-
occurs prior to the Effective Date of Protection.
A death event (other than death of a non-protected dependent) will not be protected by Life Plus protection if it:
- occurs within the 6 months immediately following the Effective Date of Protection, and is related to a pre-existing condition for which You received advice,
diagnosis, or treatment (including medication) within the 6 months immediately preceding the Effective Date of Protection; or
is the result of a suicide that occurs within the 12 months immediately following the Effective Date of Protection.
An event (other than Your death) will not be protected under Life Plus protection if the event:
occurs within the 3 months immediately following the Effective Date of Protection.
An event will not be protected by Disability protection if it:

Disability.
An event will not be protected by Involuntary Unemployment protection if it:
occurs within the 3 months immediately following the Effective Date of Protection.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
CHANGING YOUR OPTIONS. You must provide Us written notice of any request to change Your options. If You add a Protected Event, the Effective Date of Protection
for the additional Protected Event is the date You purchased protection for that Protected Event. This will not change the Effective Date of Protection for any previously
elected Protected Event(s). If You remove a Protected Event, the termination date is the date You removed protection for that Protected Event, which can never precede
the date of Your written notice.
CHANGING THE TERMS OF THIS CONTRACT. We reserve the right to change the terms of this Contract and apply those changes to the protection You purchased
under this Contract. You will receive notice before any change goes into effect. Your continued payment of the Program Fee will constitute Your acceptance of the
change in terms.
CONCURRENT PROTECTED EVENTS. For each protected Borrower, the amount cancelled will be applied to the dollar and term limitations for each Protected Event.
We will never cancel more than the Protected Payment. If You qualify for Disability (original Protected Event) and sustain an additional Sickness or Accidental Injury,
which would be in and of itself disabling, the additional Sickness or Accidental Injury will not be considered a new Disability Protected Event, but rather will be considered
DPMAC6 (03/2017)
102-0076-4
CONTRACT
the same Protected Event. This means that You will receive benefits only if You did not exhaust Your maximum Protected Event benefits in connection with the original
Protected Event. In the event a Life Plus, Disability or Involuntary Unemployment event occurs while Protection Activation is occurring for Life Plus, We will
not provide Protection Activation for these events until Protection Activation has stopped for Life Plus.
CONTINUED EFFECTIVENESS. If any part of this Contract is determined to be unenforceable, it does not affect the validity of the rest of the Contract.
ERRORS AND ADJUSTMENTS. If We have inadvertently deviated from the terms of this Contract, We will make the necessary adjustments when the error is
discovered. If We cancel more benefits than You are entitled to under this Contract, You will remain obligated to pay these amounts to Us within 30 days of receipt of
written notification from Us as if no cancellation occurred.
LOAN OBLIGATION. Protection under this Contract does not affect, alter, or otherwise relieve Your obligations under Your Loan with Us. Whether or not You have
made
a request for Protection Activation, You remain obligated to make payments to Us and to comply with the terms of Your Loan.
LOAN OBLIGATION AFTER A PROTECTED EVENT. During the time it takes to process Your Protection Activation, You remain responsible for making at least the
minimum required Loan payment due on the Loan by the payment due date. If the minimum required Loan payment due is greater than the Protected Payment, You are
responsible for paying the difference to Us. Upon approval of Your Protection Activation, We will refund to You or credit to Your account any Loan payments You made
during the processing period that were eligible for cancellation.
MISSTATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACT. If We find that You provided false or inaccurate information We reserve the right to terminate Your protection. If a Protection
Activation has been filed, the Protection Activation will be denied.
PAST EVENTS. This Contract does not protect You from events that occurred before You purchased protection.
PROOF OF A PROTECTED EVENT. You must notify Us or Our Administrator of a Protected Event as soon as possible. You are responsible for providing, and
continuing to provide, all the information required by Us to determine qualification for Protection Activation for the Protected Event. If You fail to provide all the information
required by Us to verify Your continued qualification for Protection Activation We will not cancel all or a portion of the interest, Protected Payment, Program Fee, or
Protected Balance. All information must verify the Protected Event to Our satisfaction. We will only make cancellations if You have a Protected Balance at the time
of
the
Protected Event.
RECURRENCE OF SAME OR RELATED PROTECTED EVENTS. If the same type of Protected Event occurs again within 1 year after You have recovered or returned
to Active Employment, We will treat this as one Protected Event subject to the initial Protected Event's terms and conditions, including, but not limited to the maximum
number of cancellations for the initial Protected Event. No additional benefits will be activated once You have reached any of the initial Protected Event's maximums.
For
Disability, this only applies if You suffer a Disability due to the same condition.
If the same type of Protected Event (for Disability the same condition) occurs again more than 1 year after You have recovered or returned to Active Employment, We
will
consider it a new Protected Event and You will need to satisfy all requirements to qualify for Protection Activation. This provision applies whether You return to Active
Employment with the same or a different employer.
TAX IMPLICATIONS. You may be subject to federal, state, and local taxes on the amount of Your cancelled Protected Payment or Protected Balance. You should
consult Your tax advisor. We or Our Administrator will not provide You with guidance on the tax implications, if any, of a cancelled debt.
TERMINATION OF PROTECTION. You may terminate protection on Your account(s) at any time by providing Us with written notice at least 5 business days prior to the
requested termination date. If You do so within 30 days of purchasing protection, We will credit You for any Program Fees charged for the protected account(s). We will
credit You for any Program Fees You paid for the period after Your protection terminates. Termination will not affect benefits for a Protected Event that occurred prior to
the termination date as long as an Outstanding Balance remains on the protected account(s).
Your protection will automatically terminate:
-
on the last day of the month during which Your Loan and/or Program Fee is 3 months delinquent or past due. If You bring Your protected account current, Your
protection will not be reinstated automatically. You must re-purchase protection and meet all requirements to qualify for protection;
if Your Loan is paid-off, refinanced with a Creditor other than Us, or discharged for any reason; or
if We give You written notice at least 30 days in advance of the termination (or as required by law).

DESCRIPTION OF COVERAGE
Worldwide Automatic Travel Accident & Baggage Delay Insurance
Consumer Credit Card Account
THE PLAN: As a Vantage West Credit Union Cardholder, you, your spouse or domestic partner and unmarried
dependent children will be automatically insured against accidental loss of life, limb, sight, speech or hearing
while riding as a passenger in, entering or exiting any licensed common carrier, provided the entire cost of the
passenger fare(s), less redeemable certificates, vouchers or coupons, has been charged to your credit card
account. If the entire cost of the passenger fare has been charged to your credit card account prior to departure
for the airport, terminal or station, coverage is also provided for common carrier travel (including taxi, bus, train
or airport limousine); immediately, a) preceding your departure, directly to the airport, terminal or station b)
while at the airport, terminal or station, and c) immediately following your arrival at the airport, terminal or

the airport, terminal or station, coverage begins at the time the entire cost of the travel passenger fare is charged
to your credit card account. Common Carrier means any land, water or air conveyance operated by those whose
