SECTION II: RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION 
“R”US CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

How Interest is Calculated

Your Interest Rate

We use a daily rate to calculate the interest on the balance on your account each day. The daily rate for purchases is the APR 
times 1/365. The daily rate for purchases is .07395% (APR 26.99%). Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates not in 
excess of those permitted by applicable law.

When We Charge 
Interest 

We  charge  interest  on  your  purchases  from  the  date  you  make  the  purchase  until  you  pay  the  purchase  in  full.  See  
exceptions below.

•  We will not charge you interest during a billing cycle on any purchases if:

1. You had no balance at the start of the billing cycle; OR

2.  You had a balance at the start of the billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in that billing cycle.

 •   We will credit, as of the start of the billing cycle, any payment you make by the due date that we allocate to purchases if:

1. You had no balance at the start of the previous billing cycle; OR

2.  You had a balance at the start of the previous billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in the previous  

billing cycle.

How We Calculate 
Interest

We figure the interest charge on your account separately for each balance type. We do this by applying the daily rate to the daily 
balance for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance is calculated for the following balance types, as applicable: 
purchases and balances subject to different interest rates, plans or special promotions. See below for how this works.

  1.  How to get the daily balance. We take the starting balance each day, add any new charges and fees, and subtract any 

payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance. We apply fees to balance types as follows:

(a) late payment fees are treated as new purchases; and

(b) debt cancellation fees are added proportionately to each balance.

  2. How to get the daily interest amount. We multiply each daily balance by the daily rate that applies.

  3.  How to get the starting balance for the next day. We add the daily interest amount in step 2 to the daily balance from 

step 1.

  4.  How to get the interest charge for the billing cycle. We add all the daily interest amounts that were charged during the 

billing cycle.

We charge a minimum of $2.00 of interest in any billing cycle in which you owe interest. This charge is added proportionately 
to each balance type.

How Fees Work 

Late Payment Fee  We will charge this fee if we do not receive the total minimum payment due on your account by 5 p.m. (ET) on the due date. 

This fee is equal to:

  1. $25, if you have paid your total minimum payment due by the due date in each of the prior six billing cycles.

OR

  2.  $35,  if  you  have  failed  to  pay  your  total  minimum  payment  due  by  the  due  date  in  any  one  or  more  of  the  prior  six  

billing cycles.

The late payment fee will not be more than the total minimum payment that was due.

Minimum Payment Calculation 

Your total minimum payment is calculated as follows.

The greater of:

1. The greater of:

 $25, or $35 (which includes any past due amounts) if you have failed to pay the total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of 
the prior six billing cycles.

OR

2.  The sum of:

a.  Any past due amounts; PLUS

b.  1% of your new balance shown on your billing statement (excluding any balance in connection with a special promotional purchase with a 

unique payment calculation); PLUS

c.  Any late payment fees charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS

d.  All interest charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS

e.  Any payment due in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique payment calculation.

We round up to the next highest whole dollar in figuring your total minimum payment. Your total minimum payment will never be more than your new balance.

Special Promotional Financing Offer Information

At times, we may offer you special financing promotions for certain transactions (“special promotions”). The terms of this Agreement apply to any special 
promotion. However, any special promotional terms that are different than the terms in this Agreement will be explained on promotional advertising or other 
disclosures provided to you. Below is a description of certain special promotions that may be offered:  

•  No Interest if Paid in Full Within 6 Months

•  No Interest if Paid in Full Within 12 Months

For each promotion, if the promotional balance is not paid in full within the promotional period,

account when the promotional purchase is made.

•  No Interest if Paid in Full Within 18 Months

At the time your account is opened, the Purchase APR is 26.99%.

When you make a qualifying purchase under one of the promotions shown immediately above, no interest will be assessed on the purchase if you pay the 
following (the “promotional balance”) in full within the applicable promotional period: (1) the promotional purchase amount, and (2) any related optional credit 
insurance/debt cancellation charges. If you do not, interest will be assessed on the promotional balance from the date of the purchase. Minimum monthly 
payments are required.

•  12.99% APR for 24 Months

For each promotion, after the promotion ends, the APR that applies to your account when the 
promotional purchase is made will apply. 

At the time your account is opened, the Purchase APR is 26.99%.

When you make a qualifying purchase under the promotion shown immediately above, a reduced 12.99% APR will be assessed on the purchase (including 
related optional debt cancellation charges) during the promotional period and monthly payments will be required equal to 4.7537% of your initial promotional 
purchase amount (excluding related optional debt cancellation charges), rounded up to the next highest whole dollar.

 
 
 
 
For  both  promotion  types  shown  above:  Regular  account  terms  apply  to  non-promotional  purchases  and,  after  promotion  ends,  to  your  promotional 
purchases. Offers are subject to credit approval. These promotional offers may not be available at all times for all purchases. Please see any special promotion 
advertising or other disclosures provided to you for the full terms of any special promotion offered.

RESOLVING A DISPUTE WITH ARBITRATION 

PLEASE  READ  THIS  SECTION  CAREFULLY.  IF  YOU  DO  NOT  REJECT  IT,  THIS  SECTION  WILL  APPLY  TO  YOUR  ACCOUNT,  AND  MOST 
DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. THIS MEANS THAT: (1) NEITHER A COURT NOR A 
JURY WILL RESOLVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE; (2) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING; 
(3) LESS INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE; AND (4) APPEAL RIGHTS WILL BE LIMITED.

• What claims are subject to arbitration

1.  If either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you or any other user of your account, 

and us, our affiliates, agents and/or Toys“R”Us-Delaware, Inc. if it relates to your account, except as noted below. 

2.  We will not require you to arbitrate: (1) any individual case in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, so long as it remains an individual 
case in that court; or (2) a case we file to collect money you owe us. However, if you respond to the collection lawsuit by claiming any wrongdoing, 
we may require you to arbitrate.

3.  Notwithstanding any other language in this section, only a court, not an arbitrator, will decide disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage 
or scope of this section or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the next paragraph of this section and/or this sentence). 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.

• No Class Actions

YOU  AGREE  NOT  TO  PARTICIPATE  IN  A  CLASS,  REPRESENTATIVE  OR  PRIVATE  ATTORNEY  GENERAL  ACTION  AGAINST  US  IN 
COURT OR ARBITRATION. ALSO, YOU MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ON BEHALF OF ANY ACCOUNTHOLDER WHO IS 
NOT AN ACCOUNTHOLDER ON YOUR ACCOUNT, AND YOU AGREE THAT ONLY ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE 
JOINED IN A SINGLE ARBITRATION WITH ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE. 

If a court determines that this paragraph is not fully enforceable, only this sentence will remain in force and the remainder will be null and void, and 
the court’s determination shall be subject to appeal. This paragraph 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 claim brought by such an agency.

• How to start an arbitration, and the arbitration process

1.  The party who wants to arbitrate must notify the other party in writing. This notice can be given after the beginning of a lawsuit or in papers filed 
in the lawsuit. Otherwise, your notice must be sent to Synchrony Bank, Legal Operation, P.O. Box 29110, Shawnee Mission, KS 66201-5320,  
ATTN:  ARBITRATION  DEMAND.  The  party  seeking  arbitration  must  select  an  arbitration  administrator,  which  can  be  either  the  American 
Arbitration Association (AAA), 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, www.adr.org, 1-800-778-7879, or JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 
34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com, 1-800-352-5267. If neither administrator is able or willing to handle the dispute, then the 
court will appoint an arbitrator. 

2.  If  a  party  files  a  lawsuit  in  court  asserting  claim(s)  that  are  subject  to  arbitration  and  the  other  party  files  a  motion  with  the  court  to  compel 

arbitration, which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party asserting the claim(s) to commence the arbitration proceeding. 

3.  The arbitration administrator will appoint the arbitrator and will tell the parties what to do next. The arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least ten 
years of legal experience. Once appointed, the arbitrator must apply the same law and legal principles, consistent with the FAA, that would apply 
in court, but may use different procedural rules. If the administrator’s rules conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement will control. 

4.  The arbitration will take place by phone or at a reasonably convenient location. If you ask us to, we will pay all the fees the administrator or 
arbitrator charges, as long as we believe you are acting in good faith. We will always pay arbitration costs, as well as your legal fees and costs, 
to the extent you prevail on claims you assert against us in an arbitration proceeding which you have commenced.

• Governing Law for Arbitration

 This Arbitration section of your Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant 
under the FAA. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction may enter 
judgment upon the arbitrator’s award.

• How to reject this section

 You may reject this Arbitration section of your Agreement. If you do that, only a court may be used to resolve any dispute or claim. 
To reject this section, you must send us a notice within 60 days after you open your account or we first provided you with your right 
to reject this section. The notice must include your name, address and account number, and must be mailed to Synchrony Bank,  
P.O. Box 965012, Orlando, FL 32896-5012. This is the only way you can reject this section.
