promotional Regular Revolving balance.
Credit Plans offered and their particular features (including but not limited to minimum purchase requirements and Minimum Payment) may vary
occasionally at our discretion and include one or more Regular Revolving or Promotional Credit Plans. Regular Revolving Credit Plans are your

Defer Interest, Equal Payment
Defer Interest, Payment Required

of the rights granted by this Agreement.
All other terms of your Account apply during the skip-payment period.
Credit limit
Your Credit Limit is the total maximum amount we permit you to owe us at any time.
You may not exceed any credit limit that we set for your Account.

We may refuse to authorize any purchase, convenience check, or cash advance on your Account. We may also suspend your Account and your

Cancellation or suspension of your Account doesn't negate your obligation to pay any amount you owe us.
Cancellation of your Account includes each Card you give to others.
Cards are issued with an expiration date. We have the right not to renew your Account.
Minimum Payment
You can pay all of your Account balance at any time without penalty.
You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due for each Billing Period by the Payment Due Date shown on your Statement.
The Minimum Payment is the total of the minimum payments for the Regular Revolving and Promotional Credit Plans plus any Past Due
amounts.
The total Minimum Payment Due on your account won't be less than $25.00. If your Account balance is less than $25.00, you must pay the
amount indicated on your Statement in full.
The Minimum Payment Due for each Promotional Plan is calculated as follows:
The minimum payments for Waive Interest, Payment Required and Defer Interest, Payment Required Promotional Credit Plans will be the
greater of:
(a) $5.00; or
(b) 3.5% (rounded up to the nearest $1.00) of the New Balance shown on your Statement for that Credit Plan.
The minimum payment for the Waive Interest, Equal Payment and Defer Interest, Equal Payment Credit Plans will be the amount of the
purchase divided by the number of months between the date of the purchase and the promotional period end date (minimum $5.00) rounded
up to the nearest $1.00.
The minimum payment for the Low APR, Equal Payment Credit Plan will be the amount of the purchase including the calculated finance
charges that will be assessed from the date of purchase through the end of the promotional period divided by the number of months between
the date of the purchase and the promotional period end date (minimum $5.00) rounded up to the nearest $1.00.
The minimum payment for the Waive Interest, Low Payment and Defer Interest, Low Payment will be the greater of:
(a) $5.00 or
(b) 1% (rounded up to the nearest $1.00) of the New Balance shown on your Statement for that Credit Plan
Payment application
We reserve the right to apply payments equal to or less than the required minimum amount however we see fit, which may result in balances
subject to lower interest rates being paid prior to other balances. This may also result in higher interest charges.
Any payment you make in excess of the required Minimum Payment Due will be allocated to your Account as required by applicable law.
Excess payments received before a deferred interest promotion expires are applied to the deferred interest promotional balance first in the last
two billing cycles of the promotional period.
D. Interest, fees and charges
Finance Charges
There is no period in which you can pay back a cash advance, any other transaction treated as a cash advance under this Agreement, or a
balance transfer to avoid incurring a Finance Charge. For a cash advance using a convenience check, the date of the advance is the date
the
convenience check is presented to us or our agent for payment. For all other cash advances, the date of the advance is the date you obtained
the advance.
If you make a purchase under a Regular Revolving Credit Plan, Finance Charges won't be imposed in any Billing Period in which (i) no Previous
Balance exists or (ii) payments received and credits issued by the Payment Due Date, which is at least 23 days after the Statement Closing
Date shown on your last Statement, equal or exceed the Previous Balance.
If the New Balance shown on your last Statement isn't paid in full by the Payment Due Date shown on your last Statement, there will be a
Finance Charge on each purchase from the date of purchase.
If you make a purchase under any Waive Interest Promotional Credit Plan, we won't charge Finance Charges on the purchase if you pay the
total purchase amount before the end of the promotional period. If you don't pay the total purchase amount before the end of the promotional
period, we'll add the remaining amount to your Regular Revolving balance. We'll also begin charging Finance Charges on the purchase from the
first day after the promotional period ends.
If you make a purchase under any Defer Interest Promotional Credit Plan and don't pay the total amount before the end of the promotional
period, we'll add the remaining purchase amount and the amount of accrued Finance Charges to your Regular Revolving balance.
If you make a purchase under a Low APR, Equal Payment Credit Plan, Finance Charges will be assessed from the date of purchase through the
end of the promotional period.
How we calculate Finance Charges on your Account
We calculate Finance Charges separately for each Credit Plan, using a "Daily Balance" to determine Finance Charges for each Billing Period. Our
calculation method is as follows:
We start with the beginning balance on your Account each day (including unpaid Finance Charges and fees).
We subtract any payments or credit adjustments (treating any net credit balance as a zero balance) and add new purchases and debit
adjustments posted as of that day. This gives us the "Partial Daily Balance" for the day.
We then multiply the Partial Daily Balance for the day by the Daily Periodic Rate of Finance Charge. This gives us the "Daily Finance Charge"
for
the day, which we add to the day's Partial Daily Balance.
We've now determined the "Daily Balance," which will be the beginning balance for the following day. This results in daily compounding
of
interest charges.
At the end of each Billing Period, we add together each Credit Plan's Daily Finance Charge, which gives us the total Account Finance Charge.
Your Statement will show a Balance Subject to Interest Rate, which is the sum of the Daily Balance for each day in the Billing Period divided by
the total number of days.
Rates
The Index in effect for each Billing Period will be the highest "Prime Rate" of interest as published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall
Street Journal for the calendar month preceding the month in which the Billing Period begins, rounded upward if necessary, to the nearest .001%
("Index").
An increase or decrease in the APR will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of Finance Charge and may increase the
amount of your minimum payment due.
Penalty Rate
If you fail to pay all or part of your Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date shown on your Statement for three consecutive Billing
Periods, we may apply a penalty APR ("Penalty Rate") to the existing balance of your Account and to all new purchases.
We will provide you notice of this rate increase, when it will apply to your account, and for how long it will apply to your account, as required by
applicable law.
The Penalty Rate will apply to your Account until such time as any delinquency is cured and your account is kept in a current and satisfactory
status for six (6) consecutive billing periods. On the seventh billing period the Penalty Rate will no longer apply and your Account will be subject
to the Daily Periodic Rate of Finance Charge and corresponding APR.
If you fail to make your required minimum monthly payments during the Penalty period, the Penalty Rate will continue to apply. Your monthly
statement will disclose the applicable Penalty Rate for the Billing Period and are incorporated herein by reference.
Other fees and charges
You agree to pay the following fees and charges:
Late Fee: If you don't pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date, we will charge you a late fee.
The fee is $25 if you were not charged a late fee during any of the prior six billing periods.
Otherwise, the fee is $35.
This fee will never exceed the minimum payment due that was due immediately prior to the date on which the fee was assessed.
Returned Payment Fee: We may charge you a fee for each payment that your bank doesn't honor for any reason.
The fee is $25 if you were not charged a returned payment fee during any of the prior six billing periods.
Otherwise, the fee is $35.
This fee will never exceed the minimum payment due that was due immediately prior to the date on which the fee was assessed.
Although we may decide to do so, we aren't required to attempt to collect a payment more than once.
Document Fees: If we provide you with a copy of any Statement, sales draft or similar document at your request (except in connection with
billing error inquiries or resolution), we may charge the Account the following fee(s):
Statement copy - $6.00
Sales/Credit Draft copy - $6.00
Check/Money Order copy - $6.00
Alternative Payment Method Fee: We may offer alternative payment methods that allow you to make individual, expedited payments to your
Account over the phone. If you choose to use this payment method, we may assess the current fee we charge for this service. Currently, that fee
is up to $15.00 but may change. We'll let you know the current fee before you authorize any payment(s), and you can withdraw your request if
you don't want to pay the fee.
Cash Advance Fee: For any cash advance obtained in person from a financial institution or through an ATM, you will pay a transaction fee
equal to the greater of $10.00 or 3% of the amount of the cash advance, per cash advance. You take a cash advance if you use a convenience
check; get money through an automated teller machine (ATM); or get money through a financial institution.
Convenience Check Fee: For any convenience check written against your Account you will pay a transaction fee equal to the greater of $10.00
or 3% of the amount of the convenience check, per convenience check.
Balance Transfer Fee: For any balance transfer from another account, you will pay a transaction fee equal to the greater of $10.00 or 3% of the
amount of the balance transfer.
Foreign Transaction Fee: For any charge or cash advance outside the US, you will pay a Foreign Transaction Fee of 3% of each transaction in
U.S. dollars. If a charge or cash advance made outside of the US is converted into US dollars our network providers (Visa, MasterCard, and
Discover) will select either (1) a rate from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date,

You give us permission to investigate your credit record.
You agree that a credit report may be requested in connection with the processing of your credit application. A report may also be requested

credit bureaus.
You give us permission to provide information about your Account to credit bureaus and other creditors, as well as to the retailer whose name

Credit report disputes
If you believe the account information we reported to a consumer reporting agency is inaccurate, you may submit a direct dispute to Comenity
Bank, PO Box 182789, Columbus, OH 43218-2789. Your written dispute must provide sufficient information to identify the account and specify why

Supporting Documentation: If available, provide a copy of the section of the credit report showing the account information you are disputing

If
we find that the account information we reported is inaccurate, we will promptly provide the necessary correction to each consumer reporting
agency to which we reported the information.
Your Billing Rights: Keep This Document For Future Use
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement
If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at: Comenity Bank, PO Box 182782, Columbus, OH 43218-2782
In your letter, give us the following information:
Account information: Your name and account number.
Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.
You must contact us:
Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.
At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong.
You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you
may have to pay the amount in question.
What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the
error.
2.
Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct.
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error:
We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.
The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.
While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.
We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.
If
we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees. We will send you
a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think
you owe.
If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do
so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we
reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases
If
you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the
problem with the merchant, you may have the right 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:
Comenity Bank
PO Box 182782, Columbus, OH 43218-2782
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.
G. Optional Products
Credit insurance (as applicable)
Purchasing credit insurance is optional. If you do choose to carry credit insurance coverage, the premium charge will be added to your Account as
a purchase on the last day of each Billing Period. You can cancel your coverage at any time.
Account Assure Pro debt cancellation (as applicable)
Purchasing Account Assure Pro is optional.
Your decision whether or not to purchase Account Assure Pro won't affect your application for credit or the terms of any existing credit
agreement you have with Comenity Bank.
The monthly fee for Account Assure Pro is based on the outstanding monthly balance on your Account each month and will be added to your
Statement.
We'll provide additional information before you're required to pay for Account Assure Pro. This will include a copy of the contract containing the
terms and conditions pertaining to Account Assure Pro.
You can cancel your Account Assure Pro at any time.
There are eligibility requirements, conditions, and exclusions that could prevent you from receiving benefits under Account Assure Pro.
Be sure to carefully read the contract for a full explanation of the terms of Account Assure Pro.

I. Arbitration and jury trial waiver
A. Jury Trial Waiver
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF A LAWSUIT ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL NOT AFFECT THE ARBITRATION PROVISION BELOW
(INCLUDING THE JURY TRIAL WAIVER CONTAINED THEREIN). YOU AND WE EACH REPRESENT THAT THIS WAIVER IS GIVEN
KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY.
B. Notice and Cure
Prior to bringing a lawsuit or initiating an arbitration that asserts a claim arising out of or related to this Agreement (as further defined below, a
"Claim"), the party asserting the Claim (the "Claimant") shall give the other party (the "Defendant") written notice of the Claim (a "Claim Notice") and
a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Claim. Any Claim Notice to you shall be sent in writing to the address we have in
our records (or any updated address you subsequently provide to us). Any Claim Notice to us shall be sent by mail to Comenity Bank, PO Box
182436, Columbus, Ohio 43218-2436 (or any updated address we subsequently provide). Any Claim Notice you send must provide your name,
address and account number. Any Claim Notice must explain the nature of the Claim and the relief that is demanded. You may only submit a
Claim Notice on your own behalf and not on behalf of any other party. No third party, other than a lawyer you have personally retained, may submit
a Claim Notice on your behalf. The Claimant must reasonably cooperate in providing any information about the Claim that the other party
reasonably requests.
C. Arbitration Provision
READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT REJECT THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH
PARAGRAPH C.1. BELOW, IT WILL BE PART OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON THE WAY YOU OR
WE WILL RESOLVE ANY CLAIM WHICH YOU OR WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.
1. Your Right to Reject: If you don't want this Arbitration Provision (and any prior arbitration agreement between you and us ("Prior
Arbitration Agreement")) to apply, you may reject it by mailing us a written rejection notice which gives the name of each
Cardholder and contains a statement that you (both of you, if more than one) reject the Arbitration Provision of this Agreement.
The rejection notice must be sent to us at Comenity Bank PO Box 182422, Columbus, OH 43218-2422. A rejection notice is only
effective if it is signed by you (all of you, if more than one) and if we receive it within thirty (30) calendar days after the date we
first provide you with a credit card agreement or written notice providing you a right to reject this Arbitration Provision. Your
rejection of this Arbitration Provision will not affect any other provision of this Agreement or your ability to obtain credit.
2. Parties Subject to Arbitration: Solely as used in this Arbitration Provision (and not elsewhere in this Agreement), the terms "we," "us" and
"our" mean (a) Comenity Bank, any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank and the employees, officers and directors of such companies
(the "Bank Parties"); and (b) any other person or company that provides any services in connection with this Agreement if you assert a Claim
against such other person or company at the same time you assert a Claim against any Bank Party.
3. Covered Claims: "Claim" means any claim, dispute or controversy between you and us that in any way arises from or relates to this
Agreement, the Account, the issuance of any Card, any rewards program, any prior agreement or account. "Claim" includes disputes arising
from actions or omissions prior to the date any Card was issued to you, including the advertising related to, application for or approval of the
Account. "Claim" has the broadest possible meaning, and includes initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims. It
includes disputes based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance,
common law and equity (including any claim for injunctive or declaratory relief). "Claim" does not include disputes about the validity,
enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the prohibition against class
proceedings, private attorney general proceedings and/or multiple party proceedings described in Paragraph C.7 (the "Class Action Waiver"),
the last sentence of Paragraph C.13 and/or this sentence); all such disputes are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. However, any
dispute or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide.
4. Starting an Arbitration: Arbitration may be elected by any party with respect to any Claim, even if that party has already initiated a lawsuit
with respect to a different Claim. Arbitration is started by giving a written demand for arbitration to the other party. 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
transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, we then have the right to demand arbitration.
5. Choosing the Administrator: "Administrator" means the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York,
NY 10019, www.adr.org; JAMS is at 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 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. You get to select the Administrator if you give us written notice of your selection with your notice that you are electing to arbitrate
any Claim or within 20 days after we give you notice that we are electing to arbitrate any Claim (or, if you dispute our right to require
arbitration of the Claim, within 20 days after that dispute is finally resolved). If you do not select the Administrator on time, we may do it.
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 formal or informal policy that is inconsistent with the Class Action Waiver.
6. Court and Jury Trials Prohibited; Other Limitations on Legal Rights: IF YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, YOU WILL
NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM 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.
7. Prohibition Against Certain Proceedings: IF YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM: (1) NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY
PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION IN COURT OR IN CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR
CLASS MEMBER; (2) NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY 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.
8. Location and Costs of Arbitration: Any arbitration hearing that you attend must take place at a location reasonably convenient to you. We
will pay any and all fees of the Administrator and/or the arbitrator if applicable law requires us to, if you prevail in the arbitration or if we must
bear such fees in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. If you demand an arbitration, we will pay your reasonable attorneys' and
experts' fees if you prevail or if we must bear such fees in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. Also, we will bear any fees if
applicable law requires us to.
9.
Governing Law: This Arbitration Provision involves interstate commerce and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16
(the "FAA"), and not by any state arbitration law. The arbitrator must apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable
statutes of limitations and claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator may award any remedy provided by the substantive law that
would apply if the action were pending in court (including, without limitation, punitive damages, which shall be governed by the Constitutional
standards employed by the courts). At the timely request of either party, the arbitrator must provide a brief written explanation of the basis
for the award.
10. 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 the arbitration rules of the
Administrator. The arbitrator shall have discretion to grant or deny that request.
11. 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 or involves a request for injunctive or declaratory relief that could foreseeably involve a cost or benefit to either party exceeding
$50,000, any party can, within 30 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. Reference 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 Paragraph C.8. above.
12. Rules of Interpretation: This Arbitration Provision shall survive the repayment of all amounts owed under this Agreement, 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. This Arbitration Provision replaces any Prior Arbitration Agreement.
13. Severability: If any portion of this Arbitration Provision, other than the Class Action Waiver, is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the
remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force. If a determination is made that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, only this
sentence of the Arbitration Agreement will remain in force and the remaining provisions shall be null and void, provided that the
determination concerning the Class Action Waiver shall be subject to appeal.
14.
Special Payment: If (1) you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with Section B of the Arbitration and jury trial waiver Provisions on your
own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party); (2) we refuse to provide you with the relief you request; and (3) an arbitrator subsequently
determines that you were entitled to such relief (or greater relief), the arbitrator shall award you at least $5,100 (plus any fees and costs to
which you are entitled).
