Important Notice 
Regarding Your MasterCard Gold Account 

This notice is a part of the MasterCard Gold Account Agreement and contains important rate information about your 
MasterCard Gold Credit Card Account. In this notice the words “you”, “your” and “yours” mean the Account Cardholder(s) and 
the words “we”, “us” and “our” mean Redstone Federal Credit Union, Huntsville, Alabama.  

Variable Annual Percentage Rates for Purchases, Balance Transfers, and Cash Advances as of September 1, 2013. For current rate 
information, please contact Redstone Federal Credit Union at 256-722-3480 or 1-800-234-1234 ext. 3480 or write to us at 220 Wynn 
Drive, Huntsville, Alabama 35893.  

The Annual Percentage Rate for Purchases, Balance Transfers, and Cash Advances is based upon the value of a “loan rate index” plus 
a margin, and is subject to change monthly (see below). The monthly periodic rates and the Annual Percentage Rates are variable rates 
that may change from time to time (increase or decrease) based on movements in the loan rate index, which is the US Prime Rate as 
published in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of each month. The current index is the most recent index figure available 
as of the last business day of the calendar month just prior to the calendar month of this Agreement or current billing cycle. If more 
than one rate is published, we may choose the highest rate. The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE shall not be adjusted higher than 
18% or the maximum Annual Percentage Rate permissible by law, whichever is less. An increase in the US Prime Rate will result in 
an increase in the amount of your Finance Charge, Minimum Periodic Payment, and Outstanding Balance.  

We calculate the variable Annual Percentage Rate for Purchases and Balance Transfers by adding 3.75% to the US Prime Rate. 
Currently, the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for Purchases and Balance Transfers is 7%, which corresponds to a monthly 
periodic rate of 0.5833333%.  

We calculate the variable Annual Percentage Rate for Cash Advances by adding 5.75% to the US Prime Rate. Currently, the 
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE for Cash Advances is 9.00%, which corresponds to a monthly periodic rate of 0.75%.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Including Federal Truth-in-Lending Disclosure). 

ASSIGNMENT OF SHARE ACCOUNTS/INSTRUMENTS AND/OR SECURITY AGREEMENT 

YOU FURTHER AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT BY ACCEPTING, SIGNING OR USING THE CARD OR 
ACCOUNT, YOU ALSO GIVE US A SECURITY INTEREST IN ANY SAVINGS, CHECKING, MONEY MARKET  
AND SHARE CERTIFICATES (EXCEPT INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS AND KEOGHS) OF WHICH YOU 
ARE AN ACCOUNT OWNER TO PROTECT US IN THE EVENT YOUR ACCOUNT BECOMES DELINQUENTOR IN 
DEFAULT.  

Balance Transfers, Purchases and Cash Advances. You can use the Card for Balance Transfers, Purchases, and Cash Advances.   
HOWEVER, YOU MAY NOT USE THE ACCOUNT OR ANY ACCESS DEVICE, WHETHER DESCRIBED IN THIS 
AGREEMENT OR ADDED IN THE FUTURE, FOR ANY ILLEGAL OR UNLAWFUL TRANSACTION, AND WE MAY 
DECLINE TO AUTHORIZE ANY TRANSACTION THAT WE BELIEVE POSES AN UNDUE RISK OF ILLEGALITY OR 
UNLAWFULNESS.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, WE MAY COLLECT ON ANY DEBT ARISING OUT OF ANY 
ILLEGAL OR UNLAWFUL TRANSACTION.  You will owe us for these amounts plus Other Charges and Finance Charges, if any.  
All sums due us are to be paid in United States Dollars. Any check or money order in payment of your Account must be drawn on a 
financial institution located in the United States or its possessions. 

Balance Transfers.  If you transfer a balance to your Account, the available credit on your Account will be reduced by the amount 
you transfer.  Total balances may not exceed your available credit limit. Transfers are posted at the current balance transfer rate.  
Promotional rates do not apply.  The amount will show up on your initial monthly Account statement.  Your other card(s) or 
account(s) you transferred may not be closed even if you transfer the entire balance(s).  If you want to close an account(s), you must 
contact the other company directly.  It may take up to three weeks to set up your Account with us and post the balance transfer(s).  
Therefore, you may need to make payments to your other account(s) to keep them current until you have been notified that the 
transfer(s) is complete.  We reserve the right to decline to process any partial or full balance transfer request.  Refinancing of any 
existing Credit Union loan product is excluded from balance-transfer promotions..  At our option, we may charge a fee for balance 
transfers. 

Monthly Statement. If you have an outstanding debit or new credit balance in excess of $1or if there is any Finance Charge imposed 
during a Billing Cycle we will send you a statement. You must pay us (or, if we elect, to any party to whom we transfer and assign 
your Account) according to the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement. A fee will be imposed for additional statement copies. 

(a)   A Statement of When Finance Charges Begin to Accrue. 

Balance Transfers, Foreign Currency Conversion Fees, and Purchases.  A Finance Charge in the form of a Foreign Currency 
Conversion Fee of up to 1% will apply to each international multicurrency transaction that is converted to U.S. dollars posted during a 
Billing Cycle and a Foreign Currency Conversion Fee of up to 1% will apply to each international single currency transaction not 
involving currency conversion posted during a Billing Cycle.  A Finance Charge in the form of a monthly periodic rate will be 
imposed on new transactions for Balance Transfers and Purchases.  However, if we receive your entire New Balance within twenty-
five (25) days (grace period) from the Closing Date on your first monthly statement on which those Balance Transfers or Purchases 
were posted to your Account, you pay no Finance Charge.  After the twenty-five (25) days (grace period), if the entire New Balance is 
not paid, the Finance Charge will accrue from the beginning of the Billing Cycle to the end of that same Billing Cycle.  

Cash Advances.  A Finance Charge in the form of a monthly periodic rate that will accrue from the date posted will be imposed on 
new transactions for Cash Advances. The Finance Charge will accrue until the Account is paid in full.  There is no time period within 
which to pay to avoid this Finance Charge. 

Note: If your Account is subject to a Finance Charge, then the more that you pay and the sooner you pay, the less your Finance 
Charge will be. 

      RBP MC Gold- A –revised 9-4-2013 

                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(b) The Method of Determining the Balance Upon Which a Finance Charge will be Imposed.  

We  figure  a  portion  of  the  Finance  Charge  by  applying  a  Foreign  Currency  Conversion  Fee  of  up  to  1%  to  each  international 
multicurrency transaction that is converted to U.S. dollars posted during a Billing Cycle and a Foreign Currency Conversion Fee of up 
to 1% to each international single currency transaction not involving currency conversion during a Billing Cycle.   

We figure a portion of the Finance Charge by applying a monthly periodic rate to each of the “Average Daily Balances” of Purchases 
(including current Purchases), Balance Transfers (including current Balance Transfers), and Cash Advances (including current Cash 
Advances) unless an Annual Percentage Rate adjustment occurs (see Annual Percentage Rate Adjustment). 

(i) 

(ii) 

(iii) 

To get the “Average Daily Balance” of Purchases, we take the beginning balance attributable to Purchases of your 
Account each day, add any new Purchases and subtract any payments or credits, unpaid Finance Charges, and unpaid 
Other Charges. This gives us the daily balance for Purchases. Then, we add all these daily balances for the Billing Cycle 
together and divide the total by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. This gives the “Average Daily Balance” of 
Purchases. If the Previous Balance is paid in full during the first twenty-five (25) days of the Billing Cycle, the “Average 
Daily Balance” of Purchases will include new Purchases posted during the Billing Cycle only.  
To get the “Average Daily Balance” of Balance Transfers, we take the beginning balance attributable to Balance 
Transfers of your Account each day, add any new Balance Transfers and subtract any payments or credits, unpaid 
Finance Charges, and unpaid Other Charges. This gives us the daily balance for Balance Transfers. Then, we add all 
these daily balances for the Billing Cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. This 
gives the “Average Daily Balance” of Balance Transfers.  If the Previous Balance is paid in full during the first twenty-
five (25) days of the Billing Cycle, the “Average Daily Balance” of Balance Transfers will include new Balance 
Transfers posted during the Billing Cycle only.  
To get the “Average Daily Balance” of Cash Advances, we take the beginning balance attributable to Cash Advances of 
your Account each day, add any new Cash Advances and subtract any payments or credits, and unpaid Finance Charges. 
This gives us the daily balance for Cash Advances. Then, we add all these daily balances (credit balances are excluded) 
for the Billing Cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. This gives us the “Average 
Daily Balance” of Cash Advances. 

Promotional Annual Percentage Rate for Balance Transfers, Purchases and Cash Advances.   At our option, from time to time, 
we may offer a promotional Annual Percentage Rate for Balance Transfers, Purchases and Cash Advances that may apply to your 
Account subject to the terms and conditions of the offer.  The offer will be in effect for a specific time period, but no less than six (6) 
months.  After the time period stated in the offer expires, the current Annual Percentage Rate will apply to any existing balances in 
accordance with your Credit Card Disclosure Statement Terms and Conditions and Credit Card Account Agreement. 

Annual Percentage Rate Adjustment. An Annual Percentage Rate adjustment event will occur anytime your Account becomes 
sixty-one (61) days delinquent.  We will change your ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE to a fixed rate of 18% (corresponds to a 
monthly periodic rate of 1.500%) on the first day of the Billing Cycle following the cycle that your Account was sixty-one (61) days 
past due and after providing you at least a forty-five (45) day advance written notice.  Then, once you make the first six (6) 
consecutive minimum monthly payments when due, the Annual Percentage Rate will automatically decrease to the current APRs in 
effect at that time.  

(c) The Method of Determining the Amount of the Finance Charge. 

The Finance Charge imposed during a Billing Cycle will be determined by: 

(1) 

Multiplying the Average Daily Balance of Purchases by a Monthly Periodic Rate (corresponds to the Annual  

                             Percentage Rate for Purchases – See “Important Notice” on the reverse side of the mailer containing your credit  
                            card(s) for specific rate information); 
              (2)          Multiplying the Average Daily Balance of Balance Transfers by a Monthly Periodic Rate (corresponds to the Annual  
                             Percentage Rate for Balance Transfers – See “Important Notice” on the reverse side of the mailer containing your  
                             credit card(s) for specific rate information); 
              (3)          Imposing a Foreign Currency Conversion Fee of up to 1% for each international multicurrency transaction that is  
                            converted to U.S. dollars posted during a Billing Cycle and a Foreign Currency Conversion Fee of up to  

1% for each international single currency transaction not involving currency conversion during a Billing Cycle;  

              (4)          Multiplying the Average Daily Balance of Cash Advances by a Monthly Periodic Rate (corresponds to the Annual  
                            Percentage Rate for Cash Advances – See “Important Notice” on the reverse side of the mailer containing your credit  
                            card(s) for specific rate information); 

      RBP MC Gold- A –revised 9-4-2013 

                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
              (5) 

Adding the results of (1), (2), (3), and (4) together. 

(d) Other Charges.  Other Charges will be imposed on your Account as follows and will be included in the Purchases balance of your 
Account: 

(1) 

Late Payment Charge. If you do not pay a Minimum Payment within ten (10) days after the Payment Due Date, a   

                            single Late Payment Charge of up to the federally-mandated maximum amount of $35 may be imposed on your  
                            Account. If your Account is late in subsequent Billing Cycles, additional late charges may apply for each applicable  
                            Billing Cycle that your Account is late. 

(2) 

Over-the-Limit Fee. If you have Over-the-Credit-Limit Coverage and your New Balance exceeds your Credit Line  
                             on the Closing Date of the Billing Cycle, an Over-the-Limit Fee of up to the federally-mandated maximum amount  
                             of $35 may be imposed on your Account.  Only one fee may be imposed per Billing Cycle.  If your 
                             Account is over the limit in subsequent Billing Cycles, a fee may be imposed for three consecutive Billing Cycles  
                             for the same over-the-limit transaction. However, if another over-the-limit transaction occurs during either of the  
                             last two billing cycles, you may be subject to another fee. 

(3) 
(4) 

Insurance. Borrower’s insurance is available at your option on an Account Cardholder pay basis. 
State Documentary Tax. You may be assessed the actual state documentary tax on any Cash Advance that is made  

                             outside the State of Alabama.  

(5) 

Replacement Card Fee. If your Card is damaged or lost, a charge of $5 may be imposed on your Account for each   

                             replacement Card you request.  
               (6)         Document Copy Fee.  If you request a photographic or other documentary evidence of a slip (ticket/draft) regarding  
              a Purchase, Cash Advance, or other transaction on your Account, a charge of  $12 per copy will be imposed on your  
              Account.  
 (7)        Statement Copy Fee.   If you request a copy of a statement or other miscellaneous item, a fee of $3 for each copy   
              will be imposed on your Account. 
(8)         Credit Line Check Copy Fee.  If you request a copy of a Credit Line Check, a fee of $3 for each copy will be  
              imposed on your Account. 
(9)          Stop Payment Fee.  If you request a stop payment on a check, a fee of $25 for each stop payment will be imposed  
              on your Account. 
(10)        NonSufficient Fund (NSF) Charge.  A NSF charge of up to the federally-mandated maximum amount of $35 may  
               be imposed on your Account for each Credit Line Check, NSF check, or share draft payment  that is returned for  
               insufficient funds. 
(11)       Document Research Fee.  A $20 (per hour) research fee will be imposed on your Account for any Cardholder’s  
              request for research that exceeds one (1)  hour of research time.    

               (12)      Credit Card Rush Order Fee.  If you request a rush on a Card you ordered, a fee of $60 for each rush order may be  
                            imposed on your Account.   

(e) The Minimum Periodic Payment Required.  If you elect not to pay your New Balance in full, a payment of 2.5% of the 
outstanding  balance or $25, whichever is greater, must be made by you within twenty-five (25) days after the Closing Date of the 
Billing Cycle as shown on your statement. You will pay no less than the Minimum Payment as indicated on your statement each 
month. If you make extra or larger payments, you are still required to make at least the Minimum Payment each month that your 
Account has a balance unless you have received written permission from us not to or we do not require you to make a 
Minimum Payment during certain designated Billing Cycles (see Skip Payment Option below). 

In addition to the above, Minimum Payment will also include the amount of all past due payments or the amount by which the New 
Balance exceeds the Credit Line for the Account (whichever of those two amounts is the greater), and unpaid Late Payment Charges, 
but these additions are due immediately and are not subject to a Late Payment Charge. Disputed transactions are deducted from the 
New Balance before determining the Minimum Payment. You may pay your Account in full at any time. Credits, other than payments, 
to your Account will not be applied toward your Minimum Payment. 

(f) Skip Payment Option.  At our option, we may not require you to make a Minimum Payment during certain designated Billing 
Cycles.  If you do not make your Minimum Payment as provided for in this Agreement, you understand that we will continue to apply 
Finance Charges to your Account.  Beginning with the Billing Cycle following a skipped payment, you agree that all of the provisions 
of this Agreement shall apply. 

(g) Application of Payments.   Payments when paid during a Billing Cycle will generally be applied to amounts outstanding at the 
time the payment is posted. Credits are generally applied to amounts outstanding at the time the credit is posted.  We reserve the right 
to apply required minimum payments and credits in any manner we choose.  However, we will apply amounts in excess of the

required minimum payment first to the card balance bearing the highest rate of interest, and then to each successive balance bearing 
the next highest rate of interest, until the payment is exhausted. 

(h) Your Liability for Unauthorized Use of Your Card. You may be liable for the unauthorized use of Your Credit Card (See 
Liability Provisions Below). You must notify us orally or in writing, of the loss, theft or possible unauthorized use of the Card. 
Contact us at Redstone Federal Credit Union, 220 Wynn Drive, Huntsville, AL 35893 or call us at 256-722-3480 or 1-800-234-1234 
ext. 3480 or after business hours at 1-800-241-7547.    

MASTERCARD Liability: 

You will have zero liability on your MASTERCARD Credit Card if you meet all of the following three conditions:  (1) you must have 
exercised reasonable care in safeguarding the Card from risk of loss or theft; (2) you must not have reported two or more incidents of 
unauthorized use within the preceding twelve months; and (3) your Account must be in good standing.  The Credit Union may 
increase the limit of your liability for unauthorized MASTERCARD transactions only if we reasonably determine, based on 
substantial evidence, that you were grossly negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your Account or Card. 

(i) Additional Provisions.  You also agree to all of the following: 

Ownership of Cards.  Any Card or other credit instrument or device which we supply to you is our property and must be returned to 
us or our agent immediately upon demand. If we ask, you will destroy the Card by cutting it in half, and will surrender it to us or our 
agent, mail it to us, or drop it off at any of our offices that we direct. 

Individual Liability. You agree to sign (and, if appropriate, have authorized user sign) in the space provided for authorized signatures 
on the Card before the Card is used. You as an Account Cardholder, will be liable for all credit obtained under an Account, whether 
obtained by you or by a User of the Account. If there is more than one Account Cardholder then each will be liable, jointly and 
severally, for all credit obtained under an Account, as well as all Finance and Other Charges provided for in this Agreement. 

Card Used by Others.  If you authorize another person to use a Card to obtain credit on your Account and entrust a Card to him or 
her for that purpose, you agree that such authorization shall continue in effect for as long as that person has the Card, that you will be 
liable for all charges to the Account arising from use of the Card by such person during that time, and, that no revocation of such 
authorization by you will be effective or binding on us until you recover possession of the Card to our satisfaction. Misuse of a Card 
by an authorized User will not be considered to be unauthorized use. 

Credit Line. You will not use the Account to obtain credit in excess of the amount of the Credit Line available to you, unless you 
have Over-the-Credit-Limit Coverage.  You must affirmatively agree in writing to have this coverage. Over-the-Credit-Limit 
Coverage is available for up to 10% of your Credit Line. If you have this coverage and you go over your limit, an Over-the-Limit Fee 
may be imposed on your Account.  If you do not opt-in (agree) to the coverage, we will decline any transactions that cause you to go 
over your Credit Line.  Even if you have Over-the-Credit-Limit Coverage, in some cases, we may still decline a transaction that would 
cause you to go over your line, such as if you are past due or significantly over your Credit Line. Your Credit Line will be shown on 
the Card mailing form that accompanies your Card and on each monthly statement. If we agree in writing to temporarily allow you to 
exceed your Credit Line, you agree to repay the excess amount according to the terms of this Agreement. We can increase or decrease 
your Credit Line at our discretion. Cash Advances obtained through an automated teller machine are limited to a maximum of $500 
per day. Individual transaction limits cannot exceed $500 (individual institutions set machine transaction limits which may be less 
than $500). 

Transactions. You will retain for statement verification your copy of each slip (ticket/draft) resulting from each Purchase, Cash 
Advance, and other transactions on your Account.   Upon your reasonable request or proper written notice of a billing error, we will 
provide you with a photographic or other documentary evidence of each transaction for a fee.   

Termination. Either you or we may terminate or suspend your credit privileges under this Agreement at any time upon written notice. 
The provisions of this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect until you pay all sums due us. To terminate credit 
availability on the Account send your request to us in writing. 

Transfer of Account. You cannot transfer an Account to any other person. 

Honoring of Card.  We will not be responsible for and shall have no liability for the failure or refusal of a merchant, a financial 
institution, an ATM, or any third party to honor the Card or any other credit instrument or device we supply to you. Although you may 
have credit available, we will not be liable for failure to authorize credit for a particular transaction due to operational difficulties or 
mistakes. Transactions made above a certain dollar amount may require authorization by us before the transaction is approved. The 

      RBP MC Gold- A –revised 9-4-2013 

                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
number and amount of transactions you make in one (1) day may be limited since we may limit the number of authorizations which 
may be given. These restrictions are for security reasons. As a result, we cannot explain the details of how our authorization system 
works. Neither we nor our agents will be responsible or have any liability if authorization for a transaction is not given. If your 
Account is over-the-limit or delinquent, authorization of credit for transactions may be declined. 

Refunds.  If a seller agrees to give you a refund or adjustment you will accept a credit slip for your Account in lieu of a cash refund. If 
your credits and payments exceed what you owe us, we will hold and apply this credit balance against Purchases and Cash Advances, 
unless it is $1or more. If it is $1or more, we will refund it upon written request or, after six (6) months, automatically, if your current 
location is known to us and it can be traced through your last known address or telephone number. 

Change of Address, Employment and Telephone.  You will advise us promptly if you change your employment, telephone number, 
or mailing address. We can accept address corrections received from the U.S. Postal Service or consumer reporting agencies if you fail 
to give us proper notice. However, if we receive a notice of a change of address from the U.S. Postal Service regarding your address, 
and, within at least thirty (30) days, a request for an additional or replacement Card, we will not issue the Card unless we can validate 
your address.  All written notices and statements by us to you will be sent to your address as it appears on our records. 

Credit Reports. You authorize us to make or have made any employment and investigative credit inquiries as we deem appropriate 
for the extension of credit or collection of amounts owing on the Account. We can furnish information concerning your Account or 
credit file to consumer reporting agencies and others who may properly receive that information. 

Irregular Payments.  We can accept late payments or partial payments, or checks and money orders marked “payment in full”, or 
similar words, without losing any of our rights under this Agreement. Payments must not be made by postdated check (shows a future 
date). If we receive payment by a postdated check, we may clear the check and we shall have no liability if the check is posted to the 
deposit account prior to the date which appears on the check. 

Credit Line Checks.  At our option we may supply you with Credit Line Checks which are printed with your name and Account 
number. They are subject to the following conditions: 
(a) Only the person whose name is printed on a Credit Line Check may sign it; (b) All Credit Line Checks must be written in U.S. 
dollars; (c) Payment of a Credit Line Check will be considered as Cash Advances on your Account. If you use a Credit Line Check to 
make a purchase, finance charges will accrue from the day the Credit Line Check posts to your Account until the day the balance of 
the Credit Line Check is paid in full.  Credit Line Checks are not covered under MasterCard’s dispute rules; (d) You may not use a 
Credit Line Check to make payments on your Account or any other Credit Union account or use a Credit Line Check to 
refinance any existing Credit Union loan product; (e) You agree that Credit Line Checks paid on your Account will not be returned 
to you; (f) You may obtain copies of Credit Line Checks upon your reasonable request. However, a fee per Credit Line Check copy 
will be imposed. (g) We are authorized to pay any Credit Line Check drawn on the Account even though the signature on the Credit 
Line Check does not correspond exactly with your signature on our records; but we are not obligated to pay any Credit Line Check on 
the Account unless the signature corresponds exactly to the signature; (h) If a Credit Line Check drawn by you is presented to us for 
payment and the amount of the Credit Line Check would cause the Account balance to exceed your established Credit Line, then we, 
at our sole discretion, can either pay the Credit Line Check or return it. If we pay the Credit Line Check, the amount in excess of your 
Credit Line is due immediately. We can return your Credit Line Check if your Account is in default. If we dishonor and return the 
Credit Line Check, we will not be liable for non-payment.  You will be charged a fee for each NSF (NonSufficient Fund) Credit Line 
Check and NSF check or share draft payment; (i) To stop payment on a Credit Line Check, your Credit Card Account must be closed.  
A new Account will be opened and a new Credit Card number will be issued.  If you stop payment on a Credit Line Check, your order 
must be received at such time and in such manner as to afford us a reasonable opportunity to act on it prior to any action by us with 
respect to the Credit Line Check.  However, we will not be liable for the payment or non-payment of any Credit Line Check. An oral 
order of stop payment is binding upon us for only fourteen (14) calendar days unless confirmed in writing within that period. A 
written order of stop payment is effective for only six (6) months unless renewed in writing. A stop payment fee will be accessed to 
your Account for each stop payment order; and (j) You agree not to write a postdated Credit Line Check (shows a future date) on the 
Account and we may pay a Credit Line Check notwithstanding the postdate. We may pay Credit Line Checks dated more than six (6) 
months prior to the date of presentment. We will not certify a Credit Line Check. 

Default.  You will be in default of this Agreement if (1) you do not make at least a Minimum Payment on or before Payment Due 
Date, (2) you try to exceed or do exceed your Credit Line without our permission, (3) you become subject to bankruptcy or insolvency 
proceedings, (4) attachment or garnishment proceedings are instituted against you or your property, (5) we reasonably deem ourselves 
insecure, (6) you provide us with false information or signature, (7) you die, or (8) you fail to comply with any provision of this 
Agreement. Acceptance of a payment or Late Payment Charge after a Payment Due Date or after you have exceeded your Credit Line 
does not waive the default. Default on the Account or other obligations that you have with us will constitute default on all accounts 
with us. If you are in default we may, at our option, declare the entire balance due immediately without notice or demand. You must 
pay all costs, disbursements and reasonable attorney’s fees (if the unpaid balance exceeds $300 and the Account is referred after 

      RBP MC Gold- A –revised 9-4-2013 

                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
default to an attorney not a salaried employee of ours) incurred by us in legal proceedings to collect and enforce the debt on this 
Account in the event of delinquency by you or in event of a breach of any obligation by you under this Agreement. 

Collection.  If your Account should become past due, or otherwise in default, you will accept telephone calls from us regarding 
collection of your Account. You understand that the calls may be automatically dialed and a recorded message may be played. You 
agree that such calls shall not be “unsolicited” calls for the purpose of state or federal law.  

Security.   You understand that the collateral securing your other loans with us may also secure this loan, except for your principal 
dwelling and household goods. 

Delay in Enforcement.  We can delay enforcing our rights under this Agreement without losing them. 

Amendment and Assignment.  Upon at least a forty-five (45) day prior written notice mailed to you, significant changes to an 
account term or an increase in the required minimum periodic payment set forth in this Agreement may be amended by us at any time, 
which amendments shall govern any transaction occurring prior to the effective date of such amendments, as to which there is any 
unpaid balance owing to us on the effective date of such amendments, and such amendments shall also govern any transaction 
occurring after such effective date.  Account terms refer to Annual Percentage Rates, fees for issuance or availability, fixed finance 
charges or minimum interest charges, transaction charges, grace period, balance computation methods, cash advance fees, late 
payment fees, over-the-limit fees, balance transfer fees, returned-payment fees, and required insurance, debt cancellation, or debt 
suspension coverage, if applicable to your Account.  Amendments involving increased Annual Percentage Rates, fees, or charges will 
not apply to new Accounts for the first year, unless the Account is more than sixty (60) days delinquent. We will not apply an 
increased Annual Percentage Rate, fee, or charge to transactions that occur prior to or within fourteen (14) days after provision of the 
notice. The date of the transaction determines when the transaction occurred.   

Upon receipt of the notice, you have the right to opt out (reject) of the amendments prior to the effective date.  We will apply the 
changed term(s) to any transactions made more than fourteen (14) days after notification, even if you have made an opt-out request. 
The date of the transaction determines when the transaction occurred.  Your opt-out right is not waived by using the Account prior to 
the effective date and use of the Account within fourteen (14) days of the effective date does not constitute acceptance of the change 
in terms.  However, your right to opt out is forfeited if you are more than sixty (60) days past due. You have the option to (i) close 
your Account by phoning us at 256-722-3480 or 1-800-234-1234 ext. 3480 whereupon you shall have the right to continue to pay off 
the Account in the same manner and under the same Terms and Conditions as then in effect.  If you opt out, your Account will be 
closed and your ability to use the Account for further advances will be terminated; or (ii) take no action and allow at least the forty-
five (45) day period to elapse, or use your Card or Account more than fourteen (14) days after the effective date, either of which shall 
constitute your consent to the amendment(s).  If you have not received your Card for your Account and you obtain new extensions of 
credit on your Account after the required notice period, the same requirements in this section apply.  We have the right to assign and 
transfer our rights under this Agreement and any amounts you owe us; and the terms “we”, “us” or “our” shall be deemed to include 
each and every immediate and successive assignee. 

International Transactions/Foreign Exchange/Currency Conversion.  A MASTERCARD International Service Assessment (ISA) 
fee will be charged on all international transactions regardless of whether there is a currency conversion. An international transaction 
is defined as a transaction where the card issuer’s country is different than the merchant’s country; therefore, a transaction over the 
Internet could qualify as an international transaction.  If you use your Card for international transactions that do not involve currency 
conversion (single currency transaction) an ISA fee of up to 1% of the transaction will be charged. This fee will be charged for every 
international single currency transaction. If you use your Card for international transactions in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the 
transactions will be converted to U.S. dollars (multicurrency transaction) and an ISA fee of up to 1% of the transaction will be 
charged. This fee will be charged for every international multicurrency transaction. The transactions will generally be converted using 
either a (i) government-mandated rate or (ii) wholesale market rate in effect the day before the transaction processing date, increased 
by the applicable fee.  If a credit is subsequently given for either a single or multicurrency transaction, it will be decreased by the 
applicable fee.  These fees will post as a separate item on your Account. For converted transactions, if the credit has a different 
processing date, than the exchange rate of the credit, it can be greater/less than that of the original transaction. The currency 
conversion rate on the day before the transaction processing date may differ from the rate in effect at the time of the transaction or on 
the date the transaction is posted on your Account. You agree to accept the converted amount in U.S. dollars. 

Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid all valid provisions that are severable from the invalid provision 
remain in effect. 

Captions and Catchlines for Reference Only. Captions and catchlines are intended solely as aids to convenient reference, and no 
inference as to intent with respect to this Agreement may be drawn from them.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS 

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: 

Redstone Federal Credit Union 
220 Wynn Drive 
Huntsville, Alabama 35893 

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 sixty (60) days after the error appeared on your statement. 

• At least three (3) business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is 
wrong. 

You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential 
errors and you may have to pay the amount in question. 

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter 

When we receive your letter, we must do two things: 

1. Within thirty (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 ninety (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. 

      RBP MC Gold- A –revised 9-4-2013 

                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                 
 
 
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 ten (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 one hundred (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: 

Redstone Federal Credit Union 
220 Wynn Drive 
Huntsville, Alabama 35893 

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.
