CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
Welcome to the Grand Reserve World Mastercard by Celtic Bank!
Thank you for opening a credit Card Account with us. This Customer Agreement (“Agreement”) contains the terms for your Card.
Some Definitions.
The meanings of the terms you see in italics appear in the Glossary Section. We also have links to certain terms and definitions.
To make the Agreement easy to understand, we will also use the following personal pronouns “You,” “your,” and “yourself’ mean each applicant for the Account; any person responsible for paying the Account; and anyone You authorize to use, access or service the Account.
“We,” “us,” “our,” “Celtic Bank” means Celtic Bank, a Utah-Chartered Industrial Bank, Member FDIC; and its agents, authorized representatives, successors, and assignees.
Things You Should Know About This Card
How are the Balance and Interest Charges calculated?
We use the Average Daily Balance Method (Including Current Transactions).
We figure the interest charge on your Account by applying the periodic rate to the “average daily balance” of your Account. To get the “average daily balance” we take the beginning balance of your Account each day, add any new purchases/fees, and subtract any unpaid interest or other finance charges and any payments or credits. 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. This gives us the “average daily balance.”
How is your Variable APR Calculated?
•	Your variable Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is calculated by adding a margin (currently between 11.74% and 19.74% ) to the Prime Rate.
•	We use the Prime Rate from the rates section of the Wall Street Journal, published two business days before the end of the Billing Cycle.
Your Daily Periodic Rate (DPR) is 1/3 65th of the corresponding APR.
If the Wall Street Journal does not publish a rate on that day, we will use the Prime Rate for the previous business day. If the Wall Street Journal is no longer published, we may use the Prime Rate from any other newspaper. Or, we may choose to use a different, similar published rate.
If the Prime Rate increases, Variable APRs will increase. In that case, you may pay more interest and may have a higher payment or balance due. When the Prime Rate changes, the resulting changes to Variable APRs take effect as of the first day of the next Billing Cycle.
How can I avoid paying Interest Charges?
If you pay your statement’s “New Balance” in full by the due date, we will not charge interest on any new transactions that post to the Purchase balance. If you have been paying your account in full with no interest charges, but then you do not pay your next “New Balance” in full, we will charge interest on the portion of the balance that you did not pay.
How is the Interest Charge applied?
Interest charges accrue from the 1) date of the transaction, 2) date the transaction is processed, or 3) first calendar day of the billing period. Interest charges accrue on every unpaid amount until it is paid in full. This means you may owe interest charges even if you pay the entire “New Balance” one month, but did not do so for the previous month. Unpaid interest charges are added to the proper segment of your account. However, we reserve the right to not assess interest charges at any time.
Can You Change My Account Terms?
Although we don’t plan to, we can change some terms of your Account as permitted by law. If we do change any of the terms in this Cardholder Agreement, we will send you notice before doing so. Please review this Cardholder Agreement in full to be sure you understand the current terms for your Card.
Your APR, daily periodic rate, and interest charges will change if the Prime Rate changes.

Credit Limit.
When you open your Account, you will receive your credit limit. This will also appear on your Statements. We might also refer to your credit limit as your credit line.
You are responsible for keeping track of your Account balances and your available credit limit. Do not allow your Account to go over any credit limit, as the transaction could be declined or your credit score could be adversely affected. We may still honor transactions above your credit limit,
but our honoring of these transactions will not increase your credit limit. We may also increase, decrease, restrict, or cancel your credit limit at any time. This will not affect your obligation to pay
us.
Using Your Account.
You promise to follow the terms of this Agreement as long as your Account remains open or has a balance. Please sign the Card immediately when you receive it. The Card is valid during the dates provided on the front. The Card is our property, and you will return it to us or destroy it if we ask. You will take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized use of your Card and Account.
We are not responsible if anyone refuses to accept your Card for any reason. Also, we may reject any transaction for any reason. Unless we tell you otherwise, we will bill each transaction to the applicable Segment of your Account and apply it against your available credit limit for the Account and Card for that Segment in each Billing Cycle.
You must not use, or try to use the Card for any Internet gambling transactions or transactions that are illegal or not permitted by us. You will still be responsible or such transactions if you do. In addition, these transactions will be subject to this Agreement, and you might have to reimburse the Payment Card Network and us for all damages and expenses.

When this happens, you might be unable to use your Card or obtain information about your Account. We will not be responsible or liable if this happens.
Your Promise to Pay.
You promise to pay us all amounts due on your Account. This includes amounts where you did not sign a purchase slip or other documents for the transaction. If you use your Card number without presenting your actual Card (including without limitation mail, telephone, or internet purchases), this will be treated the same way as if you used the Card in person. If you let someone else use your Card, you are responsible for all transactions that person makes. Your promise to pay us will apply to your estate if you die.
Statements.
We will send you one Statement for all Cards on your Account unless the law does not require or permit us to send a Statement. Statements will be sent at the end of each Billing Cycle when your Account has a debit or credit balance of more than $1.00, or if we have charged any Interest
Charges to your Account. Your Statement will show all transactions billed to your Account during the Billing Cycle along with other important Account information.
Disputed Transactions.
You must inspect each Statement you receive and tell us about any errors or questions you have as described in the “Billing Rights Summary” part of your Statement and other Truth in Lending Disclosures. If you do not notify us as provided in those disclosures, we may assume that all information in the Statement is correct.
If you dispute a transaction made by you or someone else on your Account, and we later credit your Account for all or part of the disputed amount, you give us all of your rights against that other person. You also will:
•	give us any merchandise or other purchases you received in connection with the disputed amount if we ask;
•	not pursue any claim or reimbursement from the merchant and that other person; and
•	help us pursue and get reimbursement from the merchant and that other person. Your help includes giving us documents that we ask for and that are acceptable to us.
Interest Charges and Fees.
We will charge Interest and Fees to your Account as disclosed to you in your Statements and other Truth in Lending Disclosures. In general, Interest Charges begin to accrue from the day a transaction occurs. However, we will not charge you interest on any new balances posted to the purchase Segment of your Account provided you have paid your previous balance in full by the due date.
We will treat the following Fees as purchase transactions unless otherwise specified below. These Fees apply to your Account only if they are provided in your Truth in Lending Disclosures. We may increase your Interest Charges and Fees as described in the Changes to Your Agreement section or in your Truth in Lending Disclosures.
Annual Fee. We will charge you this Fee upon account creation and thereafter every 12 months after the anniversary date. The amount of this Fee is listed in the Pricing Information table above. This fee is nonrefimdable in the first year, and for every year after that, if you cancel your Card within 30 days after the anniversary date of your account creation, we will issue you a refund of the Fee for that year. Cancellations at any other time of the year will not result in a prorated or full refimd.
Late Payment Fee. We may charge you this Fee if we do not receive your payment in time for us to credit it by the due date shown on your Statement.
Overlimit Fee. You will not have a fee for going over your credit limit, but your credit score may be adversely affected and the transaction may be declined, depending on the amount of the overage.
Returned Payment Fee. We may charge you this Fee each time any payment you make to us is not paid by your financial institution for any reason, even if that institution later pays it.
Expedited Payment Fee. We may charge you this Fee each time you request to make a payment over the phone. Before we charge you this fee, we will notify you of the amount and provide an opportunity to opt out of this service.

Foreign Transaction Fee. We do not charge a fee for foreign transactions.

The Payment Card Network will use its own currency conversion procedures. The conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date that appears on your Statement. We do not adjust the currency exchange rate or charge any currency conversion Fees.
No Warranties.
Except as otherwise provided in the “Billing Rights Summary” part of your Statements, we are not responsible for any claim you might have regarding the purchases of goods or services made with your Card.

We do not control when a merchant sends us your refund. We will also have a reasonable amount of time after we receive your refund to process it.
Minimum Payment.
Your Statement will provide instructions for making payments, including the amounts due and the due date for receiving your payment. If applicable, your Statement will also include a minimum payment amount. To avoid a Late Payment Fee, you must pay us at least this minimum payment amount by the due date provided in the Statement.
Your minimum payment will equal the greater of: $15 (or your full balance if it’s less than $15);
3% of your ending balance for the Statement; or the total amount by which you have exceeded your credit limit (if applicable).
In addition to the minimum payment, you may pay all or part of the total balance on your Account. However, you must still pay at least the minimum payment amount each month, even if you paid greater than the minimum on the previous Statement.
We will continue to charge Interest Charges during Billing Cycles when you carry a balance regardless of whether your Statement includes a minimum payment that is due. If your Account is 180 days past due, part of a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise charges off, the entire balance is immediately due and payable.
Making Payments.
Your payments must be in U.S. dollars from a U.S. deposit account and otherwise be acceptable to us. We do not accept cash payments. You may not make payments with funds from your Account with us.
Mailed Payments.
You must mail payments to us at the address provided on your Statement or as otherwise instructed by us or our agents. We will credit it to your Account on the day we receive it, if:
•	you send the payment coupon included with your Statement;
•	in the same envelope with your payment;
•	you include your Account number on your payment; and
•	your payment arrives at the address indicated on the payment coupon in our processing center by the time indicated on your Statement.
If your due date occurs on a day on which we do not receive payments, any payment received the next day which conforms to the above requirements will not be treated as late.
Please allow at least 7 days for postal delivery. Unless we or our agents specifically instruct you to remit payment in a different manner, payments received at any other location or in any other form
might not be credited for up to 5 days. This might cause you to be charged late payment Fees and additional Interest Charges.
Faster Payment Services.
We may make services available that allow you to make faster payments through a customer service representative using a telephone, the internet, or other payment system. We will describe the terms for using these services before you use them. You do not have to use these other payment services, and we may charge you a Fee for using them. If we do, we will tell you the amount of the Fee at the time you request the service. We are not responsible if a payment made using our payment services is rejected or not paid. Even if it is, we may still keep the Fee.
If you give your Account number or other Account information to someone else to make a payment for you, we may provide them limited Account information necessary for the payment and process their payment as if you made it. We may refuse to accept any payment made by someone else for your Account. If we accept a payment made by someone else for your Account, you will be responsible for the payment made even if that payment is rejected or not paid.
Payment Processing.
We may accept and process payments without losing any of our rights. Even if we credit your payment to your Account, we may delay the availability of credit until we confirm that your payment has cleared. We may resubmit and electronically collect returned payments. We may also adjust your Account as necessary to correct errors, to process returned and reversed payments, and to handle similar issues.
When you provide an Item as payment, you authorize us either to use information from your Item to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your deposit account or to process the payment as an Item. We will provide additional information about this process on your Statement or other documents we send you before your payment.
When you provide an Item as payment, it might also be converted into an electronic image and collected and returned electronically. These electronic images may also be converted to substitute checks. We will not be responsible if an Item you provide has physical features that when imaged result in it not being processed as you intended.
How We Apply Your Payments.
We apply your payments to the higher Annual Percentage Rate balances before the lower ones. In all cases, we will apply payments and credits in accordance with applicable law. Available credit created as a result of payments posted to your Account may not be available for up to seven (7)
days, or longer if circumstances warrant an additional hold, or if we deem ourselves at risk for any reason.
Items with Restrictive Words, Conditions, or Instructions.
Our acceptance of payments labeled “payment in full” or restrictive words to that or any similar effect, will not constitute an accord and satisfaction nor a waiver of any rights we have to receive a full payment on all balances due.
Credit Balances.
We may reject and return to you any payment that creates a credit balance on your Account. Any credit balance we allow will not be available until we confirm that your payment has cleared. We may reduce the amount of any credit balance by any new amounts billed to your Account. You may contact us as provided on your Statement and request a refund of any available credit balance. If you contact us in writing, we will refimd your credit balance within 7 Business Days from our receipt of your written request.

Scope
For purposes of this Arbitration Provision, the word “Claim” has the broadest possible meaning and includes, without limitation (a) all federal or state law claims, disputes or controversies, whether preexisting, present or future, arising from or relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement, the relationship between you and us, the information you gave us before entering into this Agreement, including your application, and/or any past agreement or agreements between you and us, any loan or credit product or related product or services obtained from us and any advice, recommendations, solicitations, communications, disclosures, promotions or advertisements concerning the same; (b) all initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims and claims which arose before the effective date of this Arbitration Provision; (c) all common law claims based upon contract, tort, fraud, or other intentional torts; (d) all claims based upon a violation of any local, state or federal constitution, statute, ordinance or regulation, including without limitation all claims alleging unfair, deceptive or unconscionable trade practices; (e) all claims asserted by us against you, including claims for money damages to collect any sum we claim you owe us; (f) all claims asserted by you individually against us and/or any of our employees, directors, officers, shareholders, governors, managers, members, parent company or affiliated entities, or assignees (including but not limited to Deserve, Inc.) or against the servicer of your Card (hereinafter collectively referred to as "related third parties"), including claims for money damages, restitution and/or equitable or injunctive relief; (g) claims asserted by you against other persons and entities if you assert a Claim against such other persons and entities in connection with a Claim you assert against us or related third parties; and (h) all data breach or privacy claims arising from or relating directly or indirectly to the disclosure by us or related third parties of any non-public personal information about you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the word “Claim” does not include any dispute or controversy about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the provision titled "Class Action Waiver" set forth below, subparts A and B of the provision titled "Binding Effect; Survival; Severability" set forth below and/or this sentence); all such disputes or controversies are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. However, any dispute or controversy that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide. In addition, this Arbitration Provision will not apply to (1) any individual action brought by you in small claims court or
your state’s equivalent court, unless such action is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court; or (2) any disputes that are the subject of a class action filed in court 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.
Class Action Waiver
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Arbitration Provision, if either you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim, neither you nor we will have the right: (a) to participate in a class action, private attorney general action or other representative action in court or in arbitration, either as a class representative or class member, or (b) to join or consolidate Claims with Claims of any other persons. (Provided, however, that the Class Action Waiver does not apply to any lawsuit or administrative proceeding filed against us by a state or federal government agency even when such agency is seeking relief on behalf of a class of borrowers including you. This means that we will not have the right to compel arbitration of any claims brought by such an agency). An award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the Claim(s) in arbitration, and shall not (i) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party; nor (ii) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No arbitration administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this section, and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this Class Action Waiver shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.
Electing Arbitration
A party may elect arbitration of a Claim by sending the other party written notice by certified mail return receipt requested of their intent to arbitrate and setting forth the subject of the dispute along with the relief requested. Your notice must be sent to Celtic Bank, 268 South State Street, #300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, and our notice must be sent to the most recent address for you in our files. If a lawsuit concerning the Claim has been filed, such notice can be provided by papers filed in the lawsuit, such as a motion to compel arbitration.
Administrator
Regardless of who demands arbitration, you shall have the right to select either of the following arbitration organizations to administer the arbitration: the American Arbitration Association, 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271 (1-800-778-7879), http://www.adr.org; or JAMS, 8401 N. Central Expressway, Suite 610, Dallas, TX 75225 (1800-352-5267), http://jamsadr.com. However, the parties may agree to a local arbitrator who is
an attorney, retired judge, or arbitrator registered and in good standing with a bona fide arbitration association and arbitrate pursuant to the arbitrator’s rules. If the AAA and JAMS are unable or unwilling to serve as administrator, or the parties are unable to agree upon another administrator, a court with jurisdiction shall determine the administrator or arbitrator. The arbitration hearing will take place at a location reasonably convenient to where you reside.
If you demand arbitration, you must inform us in your demand of the arbitration organization you have selected or whether you desire to select a local arbitrator. If related third parties or we demand arbitration, you must notify us within 20 days in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, of your decision to select an arbitration organization or your desire to select a local arbitrator. Your notice must be sent to Celtic Bank, 268 South State Street, #300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. If you fail to notify us, then we have the right to select an arbitration organization. The arbitration will be governed by the rules and procedures of this arbitration organization applicable to
individual consumer disputes. You may get a copy of the rules and procedures by contacting the arbitration organization listed above. In an event of a conflict between the provisions of the Arbitration Provision, on the one hand, and any applicable rules of the AAA or JAMS or other administrator used or any other terms of this Agreement, on the other hand, the provisions of this Arbitration Provision shall control. 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 this paragraph and commence the arbitration proceeding in accordance with the administrator’s rules and procedures.
Non-Waiver
Even if all parties have opted to litigate a Claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any Claim made by a new party or any Claim later asserted by a party in that or any related or unrelated lawsuit (including a Claim initially asserted on an individual basis but modified to be asserted on a class, representative or multi-party basis). Nothing in that litigation shall constitute a waiver of any rights under this Arbitration Provision. For example, if we file a lawsuit against you in court to recover amounts due under the Agreement, you have the right to request arbitration, but if you do not elect to request arbitration, we reserve and do not waive the right to request arbitration of any Claim (including any counterclaim) you later assert against us in that or any related or unrelated lawsuit. This Arbitration Provision will apply to all Claims, even if the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Claims existed before the effective date of this Arbitration Provision.
Arbitrator and Award
Any arbitrator must be a practicing attorney with ten or more years of experience or a retired
judge. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure or evidence that would apply in a court, nor by state or local laws that relate to arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator will apply the same statutes of limitations and privileges that a court would apply if the matter were pending in court. The arbitrator may decide, with or without a hearing, any motion that is substantially similar to a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim or a motion for summary judgment. In determining liability or awarding damages or other relief, the arbitrator will follow the applicable substantive law, consistent with the FAA, which would apply if the matter had been brought in court. The arbitrator may award any damages or other relief or remedies that would apply under applicable law to an individual action brought in court, including, without limitation, punitive damages (which shall be governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts) and injunctive, equitable and declaratory relief (but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim).
No arbitration award involving the parties will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration, nor will an arbitration award in prior disputes involving other parties have preclusive effect in an arbitration between the parties to this Arbitration Provision.
Fees and Costs
At your written request, we will pay all filing, hearing and/or other fees 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). We will not seek reimbursement of such fees from you even if we prevail in the arbitration. 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 enforced. 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. 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. At the timely request of either party, the arbitrator shall write a brief explanation of the grounds for the decision.
Appeal
The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, if the amount in controversy exceeds $50,000, and if permitted
by the Administrator’s rules, you or we 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. 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 the paragraph above titled “Fees and Costs.” Any final decision of the appeal is subject to judicial review only as provided under the FAA. A judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.
Notice and Cure; Special Payment
Prior to initiating a Claim, you may send us a written Claim Notice. In order for a Claim Notice to be valid and effective, it must: (a) state your name, address and Account number;
(b) be signed by you; (c) describe the basis of your Claim and the amount you would accept to resolve the Claim; (d) state that you are exercising your rights under the “Notice and Cure” paragraph of the Arbitration Provision; and (e) be sent to us by certified mail, return receipt requested, at Celtic Bank, Attn: General Counsel, 268 South State Street, #300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. This is the sole and only method by which you can submit a Claim Notice. Upon receipt of a Claim Notice, we will credit you for the standard cost of a certified letter. You must give us a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Claim. If, and only if, (i) you submit a 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 refuse 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 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.
Binding Effect; Survival; Severability
This Arbitration Provision is binding upon and benefits you, your respective heirs, successors and assigns. The Arbitration Provision is binding upon and benefits us, our successors and assigns, and related third parties. The Arbitration Provision shall survive any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. The Arbitration Provision survives any termination, amendment, expiration or performance of this Agreement and any transaction between you and us and continues in full force and effect unless you and we otherwise agree in writing. If any part of this Arbitration Provision is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall be enforceable, except as follows:
a The parties to this Arbitration Provision acknowledge that the provision titled "Class Action Waiver" is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is non-severable from this Arbitration Provision. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then the parties' Arbitration Provision (except for this sentence) shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. The parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated.
b. If a Claim is brought seeking public injunctive relief and a court determines that the restrictions in the provision titled "Class Action Waiver" prohibiting the arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to
such Claim (and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), the Claim for public injunctive relief will be determined in court and any individual Claims seeking monetary relief will be arbitrated. In such a case the parties will request that the court stay the Claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration award pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court. In no event will a Claim for public injunctive relief be arbitrated.
Opt-Out Process
You may choose to opt out of this Arbitration Provision but only by following the process set forth below. If you do not wish to be subject to this Arbitration Provision, then you must notify us in writing postmarked within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of this Agreement at the following address: Celtic Bank, 268 South State Street, #300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. Your notice must be sent to us by certified mail, return receipt requested. Upon receipt of an Opt-Out Notice, we will credit you for the standard cost of a certified letter. Your Opt-Out Notice must include your name, address, Social Security number, the date of this Agreement, a statement that you wish to opt out of the Arbitration Provision and must not be sent with any other correspondence. Indicating your desire to opt out of this Arbitration Provision will not affect your other rights or responsibilities under this Agreement and applies only to this Arbitration Provision between you and us.
Military Lending Act Disclosure.
Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and then-dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 36 percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: The costs associated with credit insurance premiums; fees for ancillary products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application fee charged (other than certain
application fees for specified credit transactions or accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card account). To be provided with an oral disclosure of this information, please call toll-free 1-800-316-7258.
Waiver.
We, our agents, assigns, successors, service providers, and the respective affiliates will not lose any of our rights if we delay taking any action for any reason or if we do not notify you. For example, we may waive your Interest Charges or Fees without notifying
you and without losing our right to charge them in the fiiture. We may always enforce our rights later and may take other actions not listed in this Agreement if the law allows them. You do not have to receive notice from us of any waiver, delay, demand or dishonor. We may proceed against you before proceeding against someone else.
Assignment.
This Agreement will be binding on, and benefit, any of your and our successors and assigns.
You may not transfer your Account or your Agreement to someone else without our written permission.
We may transfer your Account and this Agreement to another company or person without your permission and without prior notice to you. They will take our place under this Agreement. You must pay them and perform all of your obligations to them and not us. If you pay us after you are informed or learn that we have transferred your Account or this Agreement, we can handle your payment in any way we think is reasonable.
This includes returning the payment to you or forwarding the payment to the other company or person. We reserve the right to use third party service providers to perform any activity we are permitted or obligated to perform under this Cardholder Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

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:
Deserve, Inc.
PO Box 57780
Murray, UT 84157-0780
In your correspondence, 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 exert this right, all of the following must be true:
•	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.)
•	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. Deserve does not offer cash advances, ATM access, or credit card access checks.
•	You must not yet have hilly 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:
Grand Reserve World Mastercard
c/o Deserve, Inc.

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.
