3.  USING YOUR ACCOUNT. 

A.  Credit Availability.  

1.  Your Credit Limit(s). We have discretion to determine your credit limit(s) on your Account.  We assign an initial 
credit limit upon approval of your application and issuance of your Card, which is disclosed to you in the 
materials we send with your Card.  On each monthly statement, the total credit limit on your Account is shown 
as the “Credit Limit” and the total credit available is shown as “Available Credit”.  Only a portion of the credit 
limit is available f or Cash Advances (the “Cash Advance Limit”).   The amount of credit available f or Cash 
Advances is disclosed on each monthly statement as “Available Cash”.  At our discretion, at any time, we may 
change any credit limit that applies to your Account, as permitted by law.  We will notify you if we change any 
credit limit.  You may ask us to change any of your credit limits by contacting us by telephone at the customer 
service number located on the front of your monthly statement or writing to us at the address for Billing Inquiries 
and Correspondence located on the f ront of your monthly statement.   We do not have to agree to any such 
request. 

2.  Available Credit. The amounts shown on your monthly statement as Available Credit and Available Cash do 
not include Purchases, Balance Transfers, Cash Advances, interest charges, minimum interest charges, fees, 
any other transactions, or credits which we  receive and post to your Account af ter the Closing Date of that 
monthly statement.  As a result, the actual amount of Available Credit and Available Cash may be different from 
the amount shown on your monthly statement. You may telephone us at the customer service number located 
on the f ront of your monthly statement or write to us at the address f or Billing Inquiries and Correspondence 
located on the front of your monthly statement for your available credit. 

3.  Exceeding the Credit Limit. Your total outstanding balance, including all transactions that we have authorized 
but have not yet posted to your Account, must not be more than your credit limit.  Similarly, the total outstanding 
balance of your Cash Advances, including all Cash Advance transactions that we have authorized but have not 
yet posted to your Account, must not be more than your Cash  Advance Limit.   Each time you attempt a 
Purchase, Balance Transf er or  Cash  Advance, which would result in  your total outstanding balance and 
authorized transactions exceeding a credit limit, we may either allow or refuse the transaction at our discretion. 
If  we allow the transaction, the amount by which your New Balance exceeds your Credit Limit will be added to 
the Total Minimum Payment Due. 

If  we ref use the transaction, we may advise the person attempting the transaction of this f act.  If  we refuse to 
permit a  Cash Advance or Balance Transf er, we  may do so in  any manner, such as by advising there are 
insuf ficient funds to pay the Cash Advance or Balance Transfer, or that credit has been refused. 

B.  Types of Transactions. You may use your Account to obtain credit f or Purchases, Balance Transfers and Cash 

Advances.   

1.  Purchases. “Purchase” means the use of the Card, Account number, Mobile Device or other credit device to 
buy or lease goods or services. A transaction that is defined as a Cash Advance is not a Purchase. If  you use 
your Card to purchase goods or services by telephone, mail, or internet, you agree that your signature is not 
necessary as identification in such cases.  Purchases include adjustments related to any Purchase. 

2.  Cash Advances. “Cash Advance” means (1) use of the Card, Account number, Mobile Device or other credit 
device to obtain cash from a f inancial institution or an automatic teller machine (“ATM”); (2) use of  the Card, 
Account number, Mobile Device or other credit device to purchase a Cash Equivalent.  A “Cash Equivalent” 
includes traveler’s checks, savings bonds, f oreign currency, money orders, wire transf ers, lottery tickets, gift 
cards, purchases or reloading prepaid cards, gaming chips and other  lawf ul methods used f or gambling

transactions; or (3) use of an access check you sign as drawer. An “access check” means a check we send to 
you that can be used to obtain credit on your Account.  Access checks will have an expiration date.  An access 
check may not be used after its stated expiration date.  We will not honor an access check that posts after the 
expiration date.  We may decline an access check that posts prior to its expiration date if we suspect the access 
check to be f raudulent, if your Account is not in good standing or has insufficient applicable credit available at 
the  time the  access check is presented f or payment, or if  the  access check is damaged or unable to be 
processed.  Cash Advances include adjustments related to any such Cash Advance.  

3.  Balance Transfers. “Balance Transf er” means a transf er at your request of a balance to your Account from 
another credit card account with a third party (other than us or any of  our af filiates) using a written or online 
balance transfer form we provide, or by a verbal request you make to us for such transfer.  Balance Transfers 
include adjustments related to any Balance Transfer.  A transaction that is defined as a Cash Advance is not a 
Balance Transf er.  We may limit the number and types of credit card accounts from which we will allow Balance 
Transf ers, and the times, manner, and circumstances in which Balance Transf ers may be requested. The 
minimum Balance Transfer amount that we will process is $250 (plus the Balance Transfer Transaction Fee).  
See the Credit Card Terms and Conditions for Balance Transfer Transaction Fee details.   

4.  Mobile Devices. Any Purchases or other transactions made using a smart phone, tablet or other electronic 
device on which your  Account number and/or other Account information has been  stored or downloaded 
(“Mobile Devices”) are covered by the terms of this Agreement. Applications that use your Account information 
to make transactions may have separate terms of use. We are not responsible if you violate those terms, or for 
any consequences resulting from any violation of those terms. 

5.  Access Checks. You may not issue a postdated access check on your Account.  If  you do, we may, at our 
discretion, either honor it upon presentment to us for payment, or return it unpaid to the person that presented 
it to us f or payment, without waiting for the date shown on the access check.  We are not liable to you for any 
loss or expense as a result of either action.  If  you want us to stop payment on an access check, telephone us 
at the customer service number located on the front of your monthly statement or write to us at the address for 
Billing Inquiries and Correspondence located on the front of your monthly statement.  Give us the access check 
number, dollar amount and payee exactly as they appear on the access check.  We will not be liable to you if  
we cannot complete the stop payment request. 

6.  Foreign Transactions. If  you make a transaction in a f oreign currency (including for example purchasing online 
f rom a foreign merchant), the transaction amount will be converted to a U.S. dollar amount by Visa International 
in accordance with Visa’s operating regulations or conversion procedures in ef fect at the time the transaction 
is processed. Currently, those regulations and procedures provide that the currency conversion rate to be used 
is either the government mandated exchange rate or the wholesale exchange rate, in effect one day before the 
date of the conversion, as applicable. The currency conversion rate used by Visa International on the currency 
conversion date may differ f rom the conversion rate in ef f ect on the transaction date or posting date of the 
transaction. Visa International’s procedures may change without notice. 

7.  Recurring  Authorized  Transactions.  Recurring  authorized  transactions  are  automatic  charges  to  your 
Account that you establish with a merchant and authorize to occur on a regular basis, usually monthly.  You 
must contact the merchant to stop a recurring charge.   If  we  send you a new  Card or Account number, for 
example, because your prior Card  expired or  was  lost or  stolen, it  is  your sole responsibility to provide 
merchants with updated Card or Account number information.  We are not liable for any fees or other charges 
you incur because a recurring transaction did not transfer to a new  Card or a  new Account number.  Some 
merchants are  able to  automatically access your new  Card  or  Account number, in  which  case recurring 
transactions will continue. 

C.  Refusal  To  Honor Your Account. We  have  discretion to ref use to honor any transaction presented on your 
Account f or any reason or  no  reason. A  merchant, business or f inancial institution may ref use to honor any 
transaction presented on your Account. These include transactions made by Card, Account number, access check, 
Mobile Device, and any other credit device.  We are not liable for any ref usal to honor your Account.  We are not 
liable f or retention of the Card by us, a financial institution, or any provider of goods or services.  

D.  Statements. 

1.  General. At the end of  each monthly Billing Cycle, if  there was activity on your Account, we will send you a 
statement showing what you owe, the minimum payment due, the Payment Due Date, your current credit limit, 
an  itemized list of f ees, charges, payments and credits posted to your Account during the Billing Cycle and 
other important information.  We will mail or deliver the monthly statement to the address we have on f ile for

your Account.  However, we reserve the right to change your Account Billing address if the U.S. Postal Service 
notif ies us that your address has changed. 

2.  Change of  Address. You must notify us promptly of any change in your address by contacting us at the 
customer service number located on the front of your monthly statement or write to us at the address for Billing 
Inquiries and Correspondence located on the f ront of your monthly statement.  Until we receive, process and 
verif y your new address, we may continue to send monthly statements and other notices to the last address we 
have on f ile for your Account. 

E.  Credit Balance. We will make a good faith effort to return to you any credit balance that has been on your Account 
longer than six consecutive Billing Cycles (or, at our discretion, for a shorter time period).  You may also request a 
ref und of a credit balance on your Account at any time.  We may reduce the amount of any credit balance on your 
Account by applying the credit balance towards new fees and charges posted to your Account.  We do not pay any 
interest on credit balances. 

F.  Payments.   

1.  General. You must pay each month at least the Total Minimum Payment Due by the “Payment Due Date” noted 
on each monthly statement on your Account.  You may pay us more than the Total Minimum Payment Due, up 
to and including the total outstanding balance on your Account, at any time.  However, any payments made in 
a current Billing Cycle will not count toward any Total Minimum Payment Due in the f ollowing Billing Cycle(s).  
Merchant credits or person-to-person money transfers or other credits to your Account are not treated as 
payments and will not reduce your Total Minimum Payment Due. We have discretion to accept or reject any 
payment(s) made on your Account when there is a current credit balance (i.e., you do not owe any amount on 
your Account and prior payments or credits have resulted in a credit balance on your Account).  

We can accept partial or late payments without losing any of our rights under this Agreement.  If  you submit 
any payment marked as “paid in f ull” or with other restrictive writing that is less than the total outstanding 
balance on your Account, we can credit that payment to your Account and you will remain f ully liable for any 
remaining total outstanding balance above the amount of your payment.   No payment shall operate as an 
accord and satisfaction without the prior written approval of an of ficer of  WSFS authorized to provide such 
approvals. 

You may not use a  postdated check to make a payment.   If  you do try to use a postdated check to make a 
payment, we do not have to wait for the date shown on the check and can either honor it upon presentment, or 
return it uncredited to the person who presented the check.  We are not liable to anyone f or any loss or expense 
arising f rom the action(s) we take with respect to such postdated check.     

2.  Total Minimum Payment Due. The Total Minimum Payment Due each Billing Cycle is: 

the greater of $25 (or the entire amount due, if less than $25) or 2% of the New Balance; plus 
the amount by which the New Balance exceeds the Credit Limit; plus 

a. 
b. 
c.  all past due amounts. 

The Total Minimum Payment Due will be rounded up to the nearest whole dollar, unless New Balance exceeds 
the Credit Limit, but will not be greater than your New Balance.   

3.  Payment Allocation. We allocate payments at our discretion as permitted by applicable law.  The amount of 
your payment equal to the Total Minimum Payment Due will be allocated first to unpaid Transaction Fees, 
Account Fees, and Minimum Interest Charges, then to unpaid interest charges, then to the balance with the 
lowest APR and then  to balances with higher APRs. Payment amounts in excess of your Total Minimum 
Payment Due will be applied to balances with higher APRs before balances with lower APRs.  

4.  Making Payments. Payments may be made by mail, online, at a WSFS Bank branch, or over the telephone. 
All payments must be in U.S. dollars and, if applicable, drawn on a U.S. bank. “Business Day” is defined as 
Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. 

a.  By Mail. Mailed payments received by 5 p.m. local time at the location specified on the front of the monthly

4. 

INTEREST CHARGES. 

A.  Interest Rates  -  Annual Percentage Rates (APRs). Annual Percentage Rate or “APR” is a rate, shown as a 
percentage, used to  calculate interest  charges on  your  Account.   We  may  use  dif ferent APRs f or dif ferent 
transactions and f or promotional rate offers. We use a monthly periodic rate, with a corresponding APR, to calculate 
interest charges on your Account.   To get the monthly periodic rate we divide the APR by 12. You can f ind your 
APRs and monthly periodic rates f or Purchases, Balance Transfers and Cash Advances listed in the Credit Card 
Terms  and  Conditions document included as part of  this Agreement.   The  APRs f or Purchases and Balance 
Transf ers vary with the market, based on the U.S. Prime Rate, and are variable.  

B.  Variable APRs. We calculate variable APRs by adding a percentage, called a “Margin”, to an index, which is the 
highest U.S. Prime Rate published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal on the last publication 
day in each of your Billing Cycles.  The variable APR will increase or decrease each Billing Cycle if the Prime Rate 
changes.  Any change in the variable APR will take effect beginning on the first day of your next Billing Cycle.  This 
new variable APR will apply to existing balances and new transactions that have a variable APR.  If  the variable 
APR increases, you will pay a higher interest charge and may pay a higher Total Minimum Payment Due.  If  The 
Wall Street Journal stops publishing the U.S. Prime Rate, we may, in our discretion, substitute another index.  
You can f ind the Margin used f or your Purchase APR and f or your Balance Transf er APR, and the current U.S. 
Prime Rate in the Credit Card Terms and Conditions document included as part of this Agreement. Each statement 
closing date is the last day of that Billing Cycle. A Billing Cycle begins on the first day following the closing date on 
your last monthly statement, and ends on the statement closing date.  Each monthly statement shows one Billing 
Cycle. 

C.  Introductory and Promotional Rates and Fees. A “Promotional Rate” is an APR applicable to certain qualifying 
new transactions f or a specified period of time.  An “Introductory Rate” is a Promotional Rate that may be offered 
in connection with opening your Account. A “Promotional Fee” is a transaction fee applicable to certain qualifying 
new transactions for a specified period of time. An “Introductory Fee” is a promotional f ee that may be offered in 
connection with opening your Account.  We may offer Promotional Rates and Promotional Fees on certain specified 
transactions on your Account from time to time.  You can find the Introductory or Promotional APR, as applicable, 
in the Credit Card Terms and Conditions document included as part of this Agreement.

D.  Paying Interest. Your Payment Due Date is at least 25 days af ter the close of each Billing Cycle.   We will not 
charge you any interest on Purchases or Balance Transf ers if  you pay your entire New Balance by the Payment 
Due Date each month.  If  you do not use your Account for Cash Advances, you will not pay interest on Purchases 
if  you pay the Total Minimum Payment Due and the total outstanding Purchase balance by the Payment Due Date 
each month.  If  you do not use your Account for Cash Advances, you will not pay interest on Balance Transf ers if 
you pay the Total Minimum Payment Due and the total outstanding Balance Transfer balance by the Payment Due 
Date each month.   
We  will  begin charging interest on each Cash Advance on the transaction date of such Cash Advance.   The 
transaction date f or access checks is the date such check is first deposited or cashed.  There is no time period in 
which you may repay a Cash Advance and avoid the imposition of interest charges.  

E.  Calculating Interest Charges. We calculate interest charges for a Billing Cycle by multiplying the Balance Subject 
to Interest Rate for each category of transactions by its applicable monthly periodic rate.  The total interest charged 
f or a Billing Cycle is the sum of the interest charged for each Balance Subject to Interest Rate.  

F.  Balances Subject to Interest Rates--  (Average Daily Balance Method (Excluding Current Purchases and 
Balance Transfers)). We calculate Balances Subject to Interest Rate separately for Purchases, Balance Transfers, 
and f or each Introductory or Promotional Rate on Purchases and Balance Transfers. To get the average daily 
balance we take the  beginning balance of your Account each day and subtract any payments, credits, and any 
unpaid interest charges, Minimum Interest Charges, Transaction Fees and Account f ees. We do not add new 
Purchases or Balance Transfers. If any day’s daily balance is a credit balance we will treat it as a balance equal to 
$0.00. 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. 

G.  Average Daily Balance Method (Including Current Cash Advances). We calculate Balances Subject to Interest 
Rate f or Cash Advances as follows: To get the average daily balance we take the beginning balance of your Account 
each day, add new Cash Advances and subtract any payments, credits, and any unpaid interest charges, Minimum 
Interest Charges, Transaction Fees, and Account fees. If  any day’s daily balance is a credit balance we will treat it 
as a balance equal to $0.00. 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.   

H.  Minimum Interest Charge. If the total interest charges on your Account for a Billing Cycle are less than $2.00, then 
a “Minimum Interest Charge” of $2.00 will be assessed on your Account.  The Minimum Interest Charge is in lieu of 
the interest charges calculated using the monthly periodic rate in that Billing Cycle.

11.  Arbitration Provision. 

THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES NOT APPLY TO SERVICE MEMBERS AND THEIR DEPENDENTS WHO 
ARE ENTITLED TO PROTECTION UNDER THE MILITARY LENDING ACT (10 U.S.C. § 987). IF YOU WOULD LIKE 
MORE  INFORMATION  ABOUT  WHETHER  YOU  ARE  ENTITLED  TO  PROTECTION  UNDER  THE  MILITARY 
LENDING ACT AND WHETHER THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION APPLIES TO YOU, PLEASE CONTACT US AT 
1-888-WSFS-Bank. 

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY.  IF YOU DO NOT REJECT THIS ARBITRATION 
PROVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBPARAGRAPH A., BELOW, IT WILL REMAIN PART OF THIS 
AGREEMENT AND HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON THE WAY YOU OR WE WILL RESOLVE ANY CLAIM 
THAT YOU OR WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER, NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.  FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU DO 
NOT REJECT THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, WE CAN REQUIRE INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION OF LEGAL 
DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US REGARDING THE ACCOUNT, AS SET FORTH BELOW, AND YOU WILL 
NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING IN 
COURT OR IN ARBITRATION. 

A. Your Right to Reject: If  you do not want this Arbitration Provision to apply, you may reject it by sending us a 
written rejection notice which gives your name(s) and Account number(s) and contains a statement that you (both or 
all of  you, if more than one) reject the Arbitration Provision in the agreement governing your Account(s).  The rejection 
notice must be sent to us by certified mail, return receipt requested, to WSFS Bank, Marketing Department, 500 
Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, DE 19801, Attn: Arbitration Rejection.  Upon receipt of a rejection notice, we will credit 
your Account for the standard cost of a certified letter.  A rejection notice is only effective if it is signed by you (both or 
all of  you, if more than one) and if we receive it within thirty (30) days after the day (i) you open your Account or (ii) 
you become a WSFS Bank customer (such as when you become a WSFS Bank customer through a branch purchase 
or merger of your prior bank into WSFS Bank).  

B. Parties Subject to Arbitration; Certain Definitions: Solely as used in this Arbitration Provision: (1) the terms 
“we,” “us” and “our” include: (i) Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (“WSFS Bank”); its parents, subsidiaries and 
af f iliates; their successors; and the employees, officers, directors and controlling persons of all such companies and 
banks (the “Bank Parties”); and (ii) any other person or company who provides any services in connection with the 
Account if you assert a Claim against such other person or company in connection with a Claim you assert against 
any Bank Party; and (2) the terms “you” and “your” include: (i) each Account holder and Authorized User, and each of 
their heirs, successors, representatives and beneficiaries; and (3) the term “Account” includes the Account 
established by this Agreement and any updated or substitute Account for the same Account holders.  

C. Covered Claims: Solely as used in this Arbitration Provision: “Claim” means any claim, dispute or controversy 
between you and us that in any way arises from or relates to this Agreement, your Account, any other Account 
disclosures, any prior Agreement or account, any Card, any Account transaction or attempted transaction, and any of 
the advertising, disclosures, practices, procedures and agreements related to the foregoing. “Claim” includes disputes 
arising f rom actions or omissions prior to the date of this Agreement (or prior to the time this Arbitration Provision 
becomes part of this Agreement). “Claim” has the broadest reasonable meaning, and includes initial claims, 
counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims.  It includes disputes based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, 
f raud and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law and equity (including any 
claim f or injunctive or declaratory relief).  However, it does not include any dispute about the validity, 
enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof (including, without 
limitation, subparagraph G., captioned “Prohibition Against Certain Proceedings” (the “Class Action 
Waiver”), the final sentence in subparagraph M., captioned “Severability,” and/or this sentence); all such 
disputes are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Claim” includes 
any dispute about the validity or enforceability of this Agreement as a whole.  Moreover, this Arbitration Provision will 
not apply to any Claims that are the subject of a class action that is pending as of the effective date of this Arbitration 
Provision in which you are alleged to be a member of the putative class for as long as such class action is pending.  

D. Arbitration Procedures: Upon the demand of you or us, Claim(s) will be resolved by individual (not class or class-
wide) binding arbitration in accordance with the terms specified in this Arbitration Provision.  If  you or we elect to 
arbitrate a Claim, the electing party must notify the other party in writing.  This 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 WSFS Bank, 500

Delaware Avenue, Wilmington, DE 19801, Attn: General Counsel, and our notice must be sent to the address for you 
in our f iles.  If  a party files a lawsuit in court asserting Claim(s) that are subject to arbitration and the other party files a 
motion to compel arbitration with the court which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party prosecuting the 
Claim(s) to select an arbitration administrator in accordance with the paragraph below and commence the arbitration 
proceeding in accordance with the administrator’s rules and procedures.  We will not demand to arbitrate an individual 
Claim that you bring against us in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, if any.  But if that Claim is 
transf erred, removed or appealed to a different court, we then have the right to demand arbitration.  

E. Choosing the Administrator: “Administrator” means the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), 1633 
Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, www.adr.org.; JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 
10018, www.jamsadr.com; or any other company selected by mutual agreement of the parties.  If  both AAA and 
JAMS cannot or will not serve and the parties are unable to select an Administrator by mutual consent, the 
Administrator or arbitrator will be selected by a court.  The arbitrator will be appointed by the Administrator in 
accordance with the rules of the Administrator.  However, the arbitrator must be a retired or former judge or a lawyer 
with at least 10 years of experience.  The party initiating arbitration may select the Administrator by filing a Claim with 
the Administrator of that party’s choice.  Notwithstanding any language in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, no 
arbitration may be administered, without the consent of all parties to the arbitration, by any Administrator that has in 
place a f ormal or informal policy that would allow or require any dishonor of the Class Action Waiver.  

F. Court and Jury Trials Prohibited; Other Limitations on Legal Rights: YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO 
PURSUE A CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY DECIDE THE CLAIM.  ALSO, 
YOUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM US IS MORE LIMITED IN AN ARBITRATION THAN IN A 
LAWSUIT.  OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO NOT BE 
AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. 

G. Prohibition Against Certain Proceedings: NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THIS 
ARBITRATION PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY, FOR CLAIMS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION: (1) YOU MAY 
NOT PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION IN COURT OR IN A CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A 
PLAINTIFF, CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER; (2) YOU MAY NOT ACT AS A PRIVATE 
ATTORNEY GENERAL IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION; (3) CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST YOU MAY 
NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST ANY OTHER PERSON; AND 
(4) THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO POWER OR AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT A CLASS-WIDE 
ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION OR MULTIPLE-PARTY ARBITRATION OR TO 
GRANT ANY RELIEF THAT APPLIES TO ANY PERSON OTHER THAN YOU AND US INDIVIDUALLY.  This Class 
Action Waiver does not limit the right of a state or federal authority to pursue a lawsuit against us, even if the lawsuit 
seeks relief on behalf of you and other customers; we will not have the right to compel arbitration of any such claim.  

H. Location and Costs of Arbitration: Any arbitration hearing that you attend must take place in a venue reasonably 
convenient to where you reside.  At your written request, we will pay all filing, hearing and/or other f ees charged by 
the Administrator and arbitrator to you for Claim(s) asserted by you in an individual arbitration after you have paid an 
amount equivalent to the fee, if any, for filing such Claim(s) in state or federal court (whichever is less) in the judicial 
district in which you reside. (If  you have already paid a filing fee for asserting the Claim(s) in court, you will not be 
required to pay that amount again).  In addition, the Administrator may have a procedure whereby you can seek a 
waiver of  fees charged to you by the administrator and arbitrator.  We will always pay any fees or expenses that we 
are required to pay by law or the Administrator’s rules or that we are required to pay for this Arbitration Provision to be 
enf orced.  The arbitrator will have the authority to award fees and costs of attorneys, witnesses and experts to the 
extent permitted by this Agreement, the Administrator’s rules or applicable law.  However, with respect to Claim(s) 
asserted by you in an individual arbitration, we will pay your reasonable attorney, witness and expert fees and costs if 
and to the extent you prevail, if applicable law requires us to or if we must bear such fees and costs in order for this 
Arbitration Provision to be enforced. 

I. Governing Law: This Arbitration Provision involves interstate commerce and is governed by the Federal Arbitration 
Act (“FAA”) and not by any state arbitration law, provided that Delaware law shall be applicable to the extent that any 
state law is relevant in determining the enforceability of this Arbitration Provision under Section 2 of the FAA.  The 
arbitrator must apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the same statutes of limitations and 
privileges that a court would apply if the matter were pending in court.  The arbitrator may award any remedy provided 
by the substantive law that would apply if an individual action were pending in court, including, without limitation, 
punitive damages (which shall be governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts), injunctive, 
equitable and declaratory relief.  The arbitrator only has authority to award relief in your or our favor (and not in favor 
of  any other person) and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by your or our individual claim (and 
not any kind of broader or class-wide relief).  At the timely request of either party, the arbitrator must provide a brief 
written explanation of the basis for the award.

J. Right to Discovery: In addition to the parties’ rights to obtain discovery pursuant to the arbitration rules of the 
Administrator, either party may submit a written request to the arbitrator to expand the scope of discovery normally 
allowable under such rules.  The arbitrator shall have discretion to grant or deny that request.  

K. Arbitration Result and Right of Appeal: Judgment upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered by any court 
having jurisdiction.  The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA.  
However, if  the amount of the Claim exceeds $50,000, any party can, within 14 days after the entry of the award by 
the arbitrator, appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the Administrator.  The panel shall 
reconsider anew any aspect of the initial award requested by the appealing party.  The decision of the panel shall be 
by majority vote.  Unless the parties agree otherwise, and to the extent feasible, the appeal will be conducted 
pursuant to or modeled after the JAMS Optional Appeal Procedure, available at https://www.jamsadr.com/appeal/.  
Ref erence in this Arbitration Provision to “the arbitrator” shall mean the panel if an appeal of the arbitrator’s decision 
has been taken.  The costs of such an appeal will be borne in accordance with subparagraph H., above, captioned 
“Location and Costs of Arbitration.”  Any final decision of the appeal panel is subject to judicial review only as provided 
under the FAA.  

L. Rules of Interpretation: This Arbitration Provision shall survive the closing of the Account, any legal proceeding 
and any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law.  In the event of a conflict or inconsistency 
between this Arbitration Provision, on the one hand, and the applicable arbitration rules or the other provisions of this 
Agreement, on the other hand, this Arbitration Provision shall govern.  

M. Severability: If  any portion of this Arbitration Provision, other than the Class Action Waiver, is deemed invalid or 
unenf orceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force.  If  in connection with any Claim a 
determination is made that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, only this sentence of the Arbitration Provision 
will remain in f orce and the remaining provisions shall be null and void, provided that the determination concerning the 
Class Action Waiver shall be subject to appeal.  

N. Notice and Cure; Special Payment: Prior to initiating a Claim, you may send us a written Dispute Claim Notice.  
In order f or a Dispute Claim Notice to be valid and effective, it must: (1) state your name, address and Account 
number; (2) be signed by you; (3) describe the basis of your Claim and the amount you would accept to resolve the 
Claim; (4) state that you are exercising your rights under the “Notice and Cure” paragraph of the Arbitration Provision; 
and (5) be sent to us by certified mail, return receipt requested, at WSFS Bank, Legal Department, 500 Delaware 
Avenue, Wilmington, DE 19801, Attn: Dispute Claim Notice.  This is the only method by which you can submit a 
Dispute Claim Notice.  You must give us a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Claim.  If, and 
only if , (i) you submit a Dispute Claim Notice in accordance with this paragraph on your own behalf (and not on behalf 
of  any other party); (ii) you cooperate with us by promptly providing the information we reasonably request; (iii) we 
ref use to provide you with the relief you request before an arbitrator is appointed; and (iv) the matter then proceeds to 
arbitration and the arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to such relief (or greater relief), you will 
be entitled to a minimum award of at least $7,500 (not including any arbitration fees and attorneys’ fees and costs to 
which you will also be entitled).  We encourage you to address all Claims you have in a single Dispute Claim Notice 
and/or a single arbitration.  Accordingly, this $7,500 minimum award is a single award that applies to all Claims you 
have asserted or could have asserted in the arbitration, and multiple awards of $7,500 are not contemplated. 

O. Amendment; Waiver; Etc. Notwithstanding any language in this Agreement to the contrary, we will not attempt to 
apply any amendment to this Arbitration Provision without your written consent if and to the extent that the 
amendment would affect the litigation or arbitration of any Claim that has been the subject of a prior Dispute Claim 
Notice.  However, this will not limit our power to waive any right we would otherwise have nor our power to afford you 
any additional right with respect to this Arbitration Provision.
