Cardmember Agreement  
 This is a cardmember agreement and disclosure statement (�Agreement�) between you and the Issuer containing the terms that will apply to your Credit Card Account (�Account�) effective December 31, 2021. In this Agreement, �you�, �your" and �Cardmember� means each individual accepting a solicitation or applying for the Account or otherwise agreeing to be responsible  for the Account. �We�, �us�, �our�, and �Cardmember Service� means Elan Financial Services, the issuer of the Card and your Account creditor. Please read this Agreement carefully and keep  it in a safe place to make the best use of the credit cards we issue with this Account (�Card�). The Agreement becomes effective as soon as you or someone authorized by you uses or activates the Card or Account. Even if the Card or Account has not been used or activated, the Agreement becomes effective unless you contact us within 30 days after you receive the Card by calling the number on the back of the Card to cancel your Account. This web Agreement does not replace the Agreement that is provided with the Account and Card.  
  
 This Agreement contains an arbitration provision (including a class action arbitration waiver).  It is important that you read the entire Arbitration Provision section carefully.  ACCOUNT FEATURES AND YOUR USE OF THE ACCOUNT   1.  Personal Use: You may use the Account only for personal, family or household purposes. Federal or state consumer protection laws may not apply if you use the Account for other than personal, family or household purposes.   2. Purchases: You may use the Account to buy, lease or otherwise obtain goods or services from participating merchants (including transactions you initiate by mail, telephone or over the Internet), or take advantage of special promotional Balance Transfer offers that post as Purchase transactions (�Purchases�).  We will, in connection with any promotional offer we make from time to time, provide information on your Card carrier or in additional materials (the �Offer Materials�) that explain whether those transactions will post and be treated as a Purchase.  Even if you have not signed a sales draft or the merchant has not supplied you with a written receipt or other proof of sale, you are responsible for all Purchases made through your Account, except as expressly limited by applicable law (see Your Billing Rights section below for more details).   3. Advances: �Advances� are transactions other than Purchases that allow you direct access to funds available through your Account.  Advances may include Account transactions such as cash advances you obtain directly from us, automated teller machines (�ATMs�) or other participating financial institutions (�Cash Advances�). ATM and financial institution Advances include phone (automated phone system and 24 Hour customer service assisted) and Internet transfers. Advances also include some Balance Transfers, Convenience Checks, FastCash, Overdraft Protection Advances and Cash Equivalent Advances.  �Cash Equivalent Advances� include transactions to acquire or initiate wire transfers, travelers checks, cashier�s checks, money orders, foreign cash transactions, casino gaming and betting transactions and lottery tickets.  Monthly Account statements we issue may refer to Advances as an Advance, Cash, Cash Advances, or by the product or device you used to obtain an Advance.  Refer to the Account Fees section for details on Advance Transaction Fees.   4. Advance Limits: Only a portion of the Revolve Limit (defined below) is available for Advances and that portion may vary from time to time. Although you may have credit available under your Account, we may be unable to authorize an Advance. You may contact Cardmember Service to learn the portion of your Revolve Limit which is available for Advances.  5. Convenience Checks: From time to time, we may supply Convenience Checks for use by the person(s) or drawer named on those checks. �Convenience Checks� are drafts that look like other checks, but are drawn on credit available in your Account.  Convenience Checks may not be offered for all Account types.  We will , in connection with any Convenience Check we provide, include Offer Materials that will explain whether the Convenience Check will post and be treated as an Advance or as a Balance Transfer. Convenience Checks must be written in U.S. Dollars. We may retur n a Convenience Check unpaid if:  (a) the credit available under your Revolve Limit is less than the Convenience Check amount;  (b) the Account is in Default; or  (c) the Convenience Check is improperly endorsed or otherwise fails to conform to our regularly accepted standards for check payment.  Convenience Checks may not be used to pay your Account or any obligation you owe us or our affiliates.    6. Paying and Stopping Payment on Convenience Checks: You must write to us or call to request that payment be stopped on a Convenience Check. You must call us promptly with an oral stop payment request and then provide us with a written confirmation of the stop payment request within 14 calendar days. Any written stop payment request we receive will remain in effect for 6 months, unless you renew the request in writing before the end of that time. We may pay Convenience Checks more than 6 months old. There may be circumstances under which a Convenience Check must be paid, even if we have received a stop payment request from you. We will not be liable to you if we do not honor your stop payment request under those circumstances. If it is determined that a Convenience Check should have been paid, but was not, we will not be liable for any consequential, punitive or incidental damages if we acted in good faith. Our only obligation under those circumstances will be to pay the designated payee the amount of the Convenience Check and cancel any charges assessed against your Account as a result of any wrongful failure to honor the Convenience Check.   7. Balance Transfers: We may permit you to transfer balances and obligations that you owe other companies or financial institutions to your Account, subject to the terms and conditions disclosed in the Offer Materials (�Balance Transfers�). Balance Transfers will post to your Account and be separately reflected on monthly Account statements as a Balance Transfer, or, depending upon the offer, may post to the Account and be treated as a Purchase or an Advance.  We will, in connection with any Balance Transfer offer we make, provide you with materials that explain how the Balance Transfer will post to your Account and be reflected on monthly Account statements. You may not request Balance Transfers on existing obligations you owe us or our affiliates. If you request a Balance Transfer that would cause your Account to exceed its Revolve Limit, we may,    
  at our option, (a) post the entire Balance Transfer requested to your Account; (b) post only a portion of the Balance Transfer reque sted to your Account up to the amount of credit available under the Revolve Limit; or (c) refuse to process the entire amount of the Balance Transfer requested.    8. Overdraft Protection: This section is part of the Agreement only if you have specifically  requested and have obtained Overdraft Protection linking the Account with a designated checking account at a financial institution with which we are affiliated or with which we have a correspondent relationship. An �Overdraft Protection Advance� is an advance of funds to your designated checking account from this Account that will prevent overdrafts on your checking account.  You authorize us to make Overdraft Protection Advances from the Account as provided in this Agreement.  Any Overdraft Protection Adv ance will post and be disclosed as either a "Financial Institution Cash Advance" or an "Overdraft Protection Advance on your periodic statement, and will be subject to either a Financial Institution Cash Advance fee or an Overdraft Protection Advance fee, depending on how the Advance is processed.  An Overdraft Protection Advance will be made only once per day, and will be made in the amount determined by your financial institution (regardless of the specific overdraft amount). Please verify the amount of the Overdraft Protection Advance with your financial institution.  We may cancel Overdraft Protection privileges under the Account, even if the Account remains open for other purposes.   Note: For Young Adult Accounts, the young adult�s name and cosigner�s name must both be named on the linked checking account in order to have Overdraft Protection.   INTEREST CHARGES AND ACCOUNT FEES   9. Account INTEREST CHARGES: INTEREST CHARGES  reflect the cost of credit. Your total INTEREST CHARGE for any billing cycle will equal the amount of any (a) periodic rate INTEREST CHARGES  (sometimes referred to as "interest" in this Agreement and on monthly Account statements); (b) Advance Transaction Fees; and (c) any other transaction fees that are considered INTEREST CHARGES.   10. Interest Rate:  In this Agreement, we have abbreviated the terms � daily periodic rate� as DPR, �average daily balance� as ADB, and �ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE� as APR.  (a) Standard Interest Rates-  Rate for "Purchases" and "Balance Transfers": The DPR  for transactions posting as Purchases and Balance Transfers is equal to 1/365th of its corresponding APR. Rate for "Advances": The DPR and corresponding APR for transactions posting to the Account as Advances is equal to 1/365th of its corresponding APR.   (b) Variable APRs are calculated by adding a margin to the Index. Your Variable DPR  is equal to 1/365th of the corresponding APR. Your DPR  and corresponding APR may increase or decrease from time to time according to the movements up or down of the Index, which is the Prime Rate published in the "Money Rates" section of the Midwest Edition of The Wall Street Journal on the last publication day before the date on which the billing cycle closed (in other words, the "statement date"). We reserve the right to choose a comparable new index if The Wall Street Journal  ceases to publish a Prime Rate. The margin is the percentage we add to the Index to calculate the APR. The current applied Index value for your Account is 3.25%. Any variable rate adjustment based on a change to your margin will be effective as of the first day of the current billing cycle, and will apply to all new Account balances and transactions subject to that variable rate. Any variable rate adjustment based on a change to your Index will be effective as of the first day of the current billing cycle, and will apply to all new and outstanding Account balances and transactions subject to that variable rate. An increase or decrease to the Index or margin will apply to Purchase, Advance, and Balance Transfer balances and will result in an increase or decrease in the INTEREST CHARGE  on the Account, an increase or decrease to your Minimum Payment, and an increase or decrease to your New Balance.  Introductory and Promotional Rates : We may, at our option, offer you for a limited time  introductory or promotional interest rates for all or part of new Purchase, Advance, or Balance Transfers posted to your Account. We will tell you in the Offer Materials the introductory or promotional rate and the period of time during which that rate will be in effect and any conditions or requirements of the offer. Unless the Offer Materials state otherwise, an introductory or promotional rate will remain in effect until the last day of the billing cycle in which the introductory or promotional rate expires.  Any introductory or promotional rate that applies to new or outstanding Account balances will increase to the standard rate that would otherwise apply, or, when appropriate under the terms of this Agreement, a Penalty Rate due to an Adjustment Event (as indicated above).     11. INTEREST CHARGE; Method of Computing Balance Subject to Interest Rate: We calculate the periodic rate or interest portion of the INTEREST CHARGE  by multiplying the applicable DPR by the ADB (including new transactions) of the Purchase, Advance and Balance Transfer categories subject to interest, and then adding together the resulting interest from each category. We determine the ADB separately for the Purchases, Advances and Balance Transfer categories. To get the ADB in each category, we add together the daily balances in those categories for the billing cycle and divide the result by the number of days in the billing cycle. We determine the daily balances each day by taking the beginning balance of those Account categories (including any billed but unpaid interest, fees, credi t insurance and other charges), adding any new interest, fees, and charges, and subtracting any payments or credits applied against your Account balances that day. We add a Purchase, Advance or Balance Transfer to the appropriate balances for those categor ies on the later of the transaction date or the first day of the statement period. Billed but unpaid interest on Purchases, Advances and Balance Transfers is added to the appropriate balances for those categories each month on the statement date. Billed bu t unpaid Advance Transaction Fees are added to the Advance  balance of your Account on the date they are charged to your Account.  Any billed but unpaid fees on Purchases, credit insurance charges, and other charges are added to the Purchase balance of the Account on the date they are charged to the Account. Billed but unpaid fees on Balance Transfers are added to the Balance Transfer balance of the Account on the date they are charged to the Account. In other words, billed and unpaid interest, fees, and charges will be included in the ADB of your Account that accrues interest and will reduce the amount of credit available to you. To the extent credit insurance charges, overlimit fees, Annual Fees, and/or Travel Membership Fees may be applied to your Account, such charges and/or fees are not included in the ADB calculation for Purchases until the first day of the billing cycle following the date the credit insurance charges, overlimit fees, Annual Fees, and/or Travel Membership Fees (as applicable) are charged to the Account. Prior  statement balances subject to an interest-free period that have been paid on or before the payment due date in the current billing cycle are not included in the ADB  calculation. There is a minimum INTEREST CHARGE Fee in any billing cycle in which an INTEREST CHARGE is due.  As described above, this Agreement provides for the compounding of interest on your Account.  12. Paying Interest: You have a 24 to 30 day interest-free period for Purchases provided you have paid your previous balance in full by the Payment Due Date shown on your monthly Account statement. In order to avoid additional INTEREST CHARGES on Purchases, you must pay your new balance in full by the Payment Due Date shown on the front of your monthly Account statement. There is no interest-free period for transactions that post to the Account as Advances or Balance Transfers e xcept as provided in any Offer Materials. Those transactions are subject to interest from the date they post to the Account until the date they are paid in full.     13. Advance Account Fees: You agree to pay the following Account fees and INTEREST CHARGES: (a) We may add an Advance Transaction Fee INTEREST CHARGE  to the Advance balance of the Account for each Advance you obtain during a billing cycle in addition to the interest that accrues on Advances. The Advance Transaction Fee imposed will equal the gr eater of either a percentage of each Advance or the minimum dollar amount, subject to the maximum dollar amount. (b) We may add a Balance Transfer Fee INTEREST CHARGE  to the Purchase balance of the Account except where Offer Materials specify otherwise.     
 
(c) We may add a Convenience Check Fee INTEREST CHARGE to the          Advance balance of your Account except where Offer Materials specify otherwise.  
(d) We may add an Overdraft Fee INTEREST CHARGE to the Advance                                                     
balance of your Account, except where Offer Materials specify otherwise.  
   14. Account Fees: (a) We may add a Promotional Discount Transaction Fee INTEREST CHARGE  for each Promotional Discount you receive during the billing cycle, as outlined in any Offer Materials (b) Annual Membership Fee. Each year, the Account may be subject to your payment in advance of an Annual Membership Fee INTEREST CHARGE  which will compensate us for maintaining and servicing the Account for the following year. This fee will be charged to the Purchase balance of your Account.  (c) We will add a Late Payment Fee to the Purchase balance of the Account if your Minimum Payment is not received by the Payment Due Date shown on the monthly Account statement.   (d) There is no Overlimit Fee on your Account.  (e) We may add a Returned Payment Fee to the Purchase balance of the Account if any payment on the Account is not honored or i f we must return it to you because it cannot be processed. A check that is returned unpaid will be sent for collection.      
  (f) We will add a Duplicate Documentation Fee to the Purchase balance of the Account for each copy of a monthly statement, sales slip, refund slip, or Advance slip that you request. There will be no charge for documentation requests made in connection with a billing error notice, if our investigation indicates a billing error occurred. (g) We may add a service charge to the Purchase bala nce of the Account if you call us to make a payment on your Account and are assisted by a Cardmember Service Representative to make the payment. You will be provided with confirmation of the service charge before the payment transaction is authorized.  (h) We may add a Stop Payment Check Fee to the Purchase balance of your Account if you request a stop payment on a Convenience Check.  (See "Paying and Stopping Payment on Convenience Checks" section above for more details.)              In no circumstance will your Late Fee or Returned Payment Fee ever be greater than your Minimum Payment due.   IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT USING YOUR ACCOUNT   15. Credit Limit: There is no predetermined Credit Limit for your Account. Individual transactions are authorized based on factors such as Account history, credit record, and payment resources. a. Revolve Limit: Your Revolve Limit (for Purchases, Advances and Balance Transfers) is the total dollars available to you to carry over, less the minimum monthly pa yment from billing cycle to billing cycle as a revolving line of credit.  Your initial Revolve Limit is shown on the Card carrier.  We reserve the right to periodically re-evaluate your Account and increase or decrease your Revolve Limit.  b.   Extraordinary Purchases: If you are planning an out-of-pattern transaction or large ticket Purchase, you must inform us of the Purchase at least 2 business days prior, and no more than 60 days prior to the event via telephone.   16. Payment: You must pay us in U.S. Do llars with checks or similar payment instruments drawn on a financial institution located in the United States.  We will also accept payment in U.S. Dollars via the Internet or phone or previously established automatic payment transaction.  We may, at our option, choose to accept a payment drawn on a foreign financial institution.  However, you will be charged and agree to pay any collection fees required in connection with such a transaction.  The date you mail a payment is different than the date we recei ve that payment.  For purposes of this Agreement, the payment date is the day we receive your check or money order at the address specified on your monthly Account statement or the day we receive your electronic or phone payment.  If you mail your payment without a payment coupon or to an incorrect address, it may result in a delayed credit to your Account, additional INTEREST CHARGES, fees, and possible suspension of your Account.   17. Minimum Payment: Each month, you must pay at least the Minimum Payment and any past due Minimum Payment(s) by the Payment Due Date shown on your monthly Account statement. You may, at your option, pay more than the Minimum Payment or pay the New Balance (as stated on your monthly Account statement) in full to reduce or avoid the INTEREST CHARGE for the Account. Your Minimum Payment will be calculated as follows: first we determine the "Base Minimum Payment", which is the greater of $30.00 or 1.00% of your New Balance up to the Revolve Limit not including items (1) and (2) below, which, if not a whole dollar amount, will be rounded to the next highest dollar. To the Base Minimum Payment, we may add one or more of the following items, as incurred on your Account: (1) any late, annual and/or any other Account related fee, (2) the INTEREST CHARGE, and (3) if your Account is over the Revolve Limit, some or all of the balance amount over your Revolve Limit. If the resulting Minimum Payment is greater than $30.00, the total , if not a whole dollar amount, is then rounded to the next highest dollar not to exceed your New Balance. Any Minimum Payment or additional amount you pay each month will not prepay any future Minimum Payments required, or change your obligation to make at least a Minimum Payment by the Payment Due Date. Any statement credit that results from a promotional offer or rewards redemption, if applicable, will only be applied to the Account balance and not satisfy any portion of the Minimum Payment requirements for this Account.      18. Payment Application:  If we cannot collect on your check or other payment item you send us to pay on your Account, we may post as an Advance transaction an amount equal to the credit previously given to you for such check or payment item and we may charge interest on this amount from the date your Account originally was credited for the payment. After a payment has been made, we reserve the right to withhold available credit in the amount of the payment for 7 business days. Any credit available before the payment is made will continue to be available for use during this time.   19. Skip Payment Option: We may, at o ur option, occasionally offer you an opportunity to skip your obligation to make the Minimum Payment due. You may not skip payments unless we make this offer to you.  If we offer you an opportunity to skip a payment more than once in a 12 month period, you will not be permitted to skip payments required in consecutive months. You cannot accept a skip payment offer if your Account is delinquent, or is in Default. When you take advantage of a skip payment offer, the interest will continue to accrue on the entire unpaid balance of your Account.   20. Change of Address: Your monthly Account statements and notices about your Account will be sent to the address you provided in your application or your response to our Account solicitation. To change your address, you must call us or write to us. We must receive this information 21 days before the date a billing cycle closes to provide your monthly Account statement at your new address.  If you have an address change within 45 days of the expiration date of your Card (s), please contact Cardmember Service with your new address so your new Card(s) can be mailed to your new address.  We may also update your address in our records without a request from you if we receive an address change notice from the U.S. Postal Service or if we receive updated address information from our mail services vendor.   21. Authorized Users: You agree not to allow access to your Card, Account number, Convenience Checks, or personal identification number (PIN) to anyone else to use your Account, except by asking us to issue a card to grant Account access to another person.  If you allow access to your Card or Account information, you will be liable for any charges made by that person, unless and except as expressly required by applicable law.  You agree to be responsible for all Account transactions made by a Cardmember, or anyone who you have authorized by (a) asking us to issue a Card to grant Account access to another person; (b) lending your Card to or allowing Account access by another person; or (c) any other way in which you would be legally considered to have allowed another person to use your Account or to be legally prevented from denying that you did so.  Be cautious when allowing another person to become an authorized user of your Accou nt; once you allow authority to any authorized user you cannot limit that authority unless the Account is closed to future transactions.  You, as a primary or joint Cardmember must call or write us with any request to cancel and remove a person�s authority. We will not provide any Account information to anyone other than you and any Authorized Users.  Authorized Users have no right to make any Account changes or inquiries.   22. Lost or Stolen Card or Other Information: You must notify us immediately by telephone or in writing if your Card, Convenience Checks, or PIN is lost or stolen or there is possible unauthorized use of your Card, Account, or PIN. You will not be liable for unauthorized use of your Account.  If this happens, we will ask you and all other persons given Account access to return all Cards and unused Convenience Checks to us. In addition, we have the right to close your Account and open a new Account. If we do so, new Cards will be issued.  If requested, we may issue a new PIN and new Convenience Checks for your new Account.  23.  Using Your Card for International  Transactions:  You may use your Card for retail Purchases at foreign merchants and for cash withdrawals from foreign ATMs. Some merchant and ATM transactions, even  if you and/or the merchant or ATM are located in the United States, are considered foreign transactions under the applicable rules, in which case we will add the Foreign Transaction Fee INTEREST CHARGE described in this section to those transactions. We do not control how these merchants, ATMs, and transactions are classified for this purpose. The exchange rate in effect when the transaction is processed may differ from the rate in effect on the date of the transaction or the date of the posting of the transaction to your Account.   If you use your Card at a merchant or an ATM that bears the Visa logo (and no PLUS System logo), the transaction will be processed through the Visa system and will be converted to U.S. Dollars according to the applicable rules e stablished by Visa from time to time. Currently, the currency conversion rate used by Visa to determine the foreign currency transaction amount in U.S. Dollars is determined by multiplying the amount of the foreign currency transaction times (a) a rate sel ected by Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives, or (b) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central proce ssing date. If your foreign transaction is in foreign currency prior to being processed by Visa, we will add a Foreign Transaction Fee INTEREST CHARGE of up to 3.00% of the Purchase or ATM transaction. If your foreign transaction is in or converted to U.S. Dollars prior to being processed by Visa, we will add a Foreign Transaction Fee INTEREST CHARGE  of up to 3.00% of the Purchase or ATM transaction. If you use your Card at an ATM that bears only the PLUS System logo (and no Visa logo), the transaction will  be processed through the PLUS System and will be converted into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate established, from    
  time to time, by the operator of that ATM. To the converted transaction we will not add a Foreign Transaction Fee INTEREST CHARGE .  If you use your Card at an ATM that bears both the Visa and PLUS System logos, the ATM operator will determine whether to send your transaction over the Visa or PLUS System network using such network's respective currency conversion rules then in effect (as explained above).     YOUR LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS AGREEMENT   24. Responsibility to Pay: You agree to pay us for all Purchases, Advances, Balance Transfers, INTEREST CHARGES, Account Fees and charges, any other transaction charges as provided in this Agreement and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, attorneys fees and collection costs we incur enforcing this Agreement against you. This is the case even if your Account is only used by one of you, or is used by someone authorized by only one of you. If there is more than one Cardmember, each of you is responsible, together and separately, for the full amount owed on your Account. Your obligation to pay the Account balance continues even though an agreement, divorce decree, court judgment, or other document to which we are not a party may direct another person responsible to pay the Account.    25. Intent to Repay: Every time you use your Account, you represent to us that you intend to and have the ability to repay your Account obligations. We rely on this representation every time you use your Account.   26. Settling a Disputed Balance; Payment in Full: If you want to settle a disagreement with us about any amount you owe by sending a check on which you have written "Payment in Full" or similar language, you must send us a written explanation of the disagreement or dispute and any such check to Cardmember Service. (See Your Billing Rights section below for complete detail s.) This address is different than the address you use to make Account payments. Writing �Payment in Full� or similar language on the check will not be enough to resolve the dispute. If we collect a check or any payment instrument marked �Payment in Full� that you sent to an address other than the one provided in this section (such as the address at which you normally make payments), we will not have waived our right to collect any remaining amount you owe us under the terms of your Account.  27. Default: You and your Account will be in Default if:  (a) we do not receive the Minimum Payment by the Payment Due Date disclosed on the monthly Account statement; (b) you violate any other provision of this Agreement;  (c) you die without a surviving joint Cardmember;  (d) you become insolvent, assign any property to your creditors, or go into bankruptcy or receivership; (e) you have made false statements on your Account application or in the maintenance of your Account; (f) we have any reason to believe that your Ac count is in danger of, or is being used for fraud; (g) you are a married community property state resident and you or we receive a written termination notice of this Agreement from your spouse;  (h) your Account becomes inactive;   (i) anything happens that we believe in good faith materially increases the risk that you will not live up to your payment and other obligations under this Agreement; or (j) this is a joint Account and one of you notifies us that he or she wants the Account closed or will no longer be liable on the Account.  You and your Account may also be in Default if you make transactions which go over your Revolve Limit.   28. Illegal Purchases: You agree that you will not use or permit an Authorized User to use the Card or Account for any unlawful purpose, such as funding any account that is set up to facilitate online gambling.  
 
OUR LEGAL RIGHT TO CHANGE OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT   29. Ownership of this Account: Your Card and any other Account access devices that we supply to you are our property and must be immediately returned to us or our designated agent or otherwise destroyed or surrendered as we instruct.   30. Changes to your Account: Account and Agreement terms are not guaranteed for any period of time; we may change the terms of your Agreement, including APRs and fees, in accordance with applicable law and the terms of your Agreement. Your transactional experience with us may also cause a change, including an increase in the margin that is added to the Index, an increase in fees, or a decrease in the Revolve Limit. Factors considered in determining the increased rate or Revolve Limit decrease may include your general credit profile, existence, seriousness and timing of the defaults under any agreement that you have with us, and other indications of the Account usage and performance. We will give you notice of any such change in the manner required by law. Revised Account terms apply as of the effective date communicated in our notice to you unless the notice provides you with the right to opt out, and you do opt out, before the effective date.    31. Cancellation of Your Account: We may cancel your Account or suspend your ability to obtain Account credit immediately, without notice, if your Account is in Default. Even  if you are not in Default, we may cancel your Account by providing notice to you. You may cancel your Account by notifying us by telephone or in writing. If you have  a secured Account, your termination request must be made in writing.  If this is a joint Account, we will honor a request by either of you to cancel the Account. After the Account is cancelled, you will not be able to obtain additional Account credit, except that, (a) the Account may continue to receive recurring charges for items and services until you contact and cancel delivery with the company providing the item or service, or (b) under certain circumstances if you use your Account for a transaction, the transaction may be posted to your Account.  After your Account is cancelled, all amounts outstanding on your Account will be due and payable without notice or demand from us.

You agree that a consumer credit report may be requested periodically from one or more consumer reporting agencies (�Credit Bureaus�) and used in connection with your application and any update, renewal or extension of credit. We will provide information about you, your Account or your credit history to Credit Bureaus and others who may properly receive that information.   34. Credit Bureau Disputes: If you believe we inaccurately reported credit history information about you or your Account to a Credit Bureau, write to the Consumer Recovery Department, Attn.: CBR Disputes, P.O.

Our Privacy Pledge also tells you how you can (a) limit the ways we share certain kinds of information about you and (b) request corrections to the information we maintain about you.   36. Refusal to Honor Transactions: We and our agents are not responsible if anyone refuses to honor your Card or a Convenience Check, or if authorization for a particular transaction is not given. Although yo u may have credit available under your Account, we may be unable to authorize credit for a particular transaction. The number of transactions you make in one day may be limited, and the limit per day may vary. These restrictions are for security reasons and as a result we cannot explain the details of how this system works. If your Account is over the Revolve  Limit or delinquent, authorization of credit for transactions may be declined. We are not responsible for anything purchased with your Card or a Conve nience Check, except as expressly required by applicable law (see Your Billing Rights section below for more details). You must return goods you purchased with the Card or Account to the merchant and not to us.   37 . Third Party Offers: From time to time, third parties may provide you with benefits not related to the extension of Account credit. We are not liable for these features, services and enhancements, as they are the sole responsibility of the third party    
  provider. We and/or a third party may add, change or delete entirely these benefits without notice or liability to you, to the extent permitted by applicable law. You agree to hold us harmless from any claims, actions or damages resulting from your use of any of these features, services or enhancements, where permitted by applicable law.   38.

The communications that may be monitored or recorded include telephone calls, cellular or mobile phone calls, and any other communications in any form.     39. Severability: If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any part of this Agreement illegal or unenforceable, the remaining portions of the Agreement will remain in effect as written after any such illegal or unenforceable portion is amended in conformance with applicable law or, if necessary, voided.   40. Entire Agreement: This version of the web Agreement replaces any previous versions of the web Agreement. The Agreement, as modified by any change in terms we may deliver from time to time in accordance with applicable law, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us, and supersedes any pri or negotiation, agreement, or understanding between you and us concerning the subject matter of the Agreement.   41. Waiver: We do not give up our rights under the Agreement or applicable law when we fail to exercise or delay exercising those rights. Our failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy we have against you does not mean that we waive that right.   42. Mobile Authentication:  To help us verify your identity, you authorize your wireless operator (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile�, US Cellular�, Verizon, or any other branded wireless operator) to use your mobile number, name, address, email, network status, customer type, customer role, billing type, mobile device identifiers (IMSI and IMEI) and other subscriber status details, if available, to allow us to  verify your identity, and to compare information you have provided to us with your wireless operator account profile information for the duration of our relationship.

You understand and agree that, if your Account has been assigned, sold, or transferred to us, we, as the successor-in-interest, and our affiliates and agents, have your prior express consent to call you using prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, or an automatic telephone dialing system at any telephone number(s) you may have provided to any previous creditor(s), or which may have otherwise been associated with your Account prior to its assignment, transfer, or sale to us.  44.  Arbitration Provision: RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES BY ARBITRATION  PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY.  UNDER THIS PROVISION, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO TRY ANY COVERED CLAIM IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.   The following provision applies to any cl aim, cause of action, proceeding, or any other dispute between you, on the one hand, and us, our respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors -in-interest, personal representatives, heirs and/or successors, and assigns, on the other hand  (each a �Claim� as further defined under the heading �Claims Covered by Arbitration�), including all questions of law or fact related thereto.  Agreement to Arbitrate Either you or we may elect in writing, and without the consent of the other , to arbitrate all Claims covered by this provision. Claims Covered By Arbitration Claims subject to our agreement to arbitrate shall include all of the following: (1) Claims related to or arising out of this Agreement, or any prior or later versions of th is Agreement as well as any changes to the terms of this Agreement; (2) Claims related to or arising out of any aspect of any relationship between us that is governed by this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, or any other leg al theory; and (3) Claims that relate to the construction, scope, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration provision.  Claims include Claims that arose before we entered into this Agreement (such as Claims related to advertising) and after termination of this Agreement. Claims Not Covered By Arbitration  Claims subject to our agreement to arbitrate shall not include (1) any Claim you file in a small claims court, so long as the Claim remains in such court and advances only an individual claim for relief, and (2) Claims asserted by way of a cross claim, counterclaim or any similar device against a party who has initiated a proceeding in court or other non-arbitral forum by any other party to that proceeding.   Commencing an Arbitration The party initiating arbitration must choose one of the following arbitration forums to administer the arbitration: � The American Arbitration Association (�AAA�) under AAA�s Consumer Arbitration Rules, except as modified by this Agreement.  AAA�s Rules may be obtained from www.adr.org
 or 1-800-778-7879 (toll-free).   
� JAMS/Endispute (�JAMS�) under JAMS� Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures or Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, including JAMS� Consumer Minimum Standards, except as modified by this Agreement.  JAMS� Class Action Procedures shall not apply.  JAMS� rules may be obtained from www.jamsadr.com
 or 1-800-352-5267 (toll free). 
If the chosen arbitration forum is for any reason unable to serve, then the parties may agree to a comparable substitute organization.  If the parties are unable to agree, then a court of competent jurisdiction shall appoint a substitute organization.   Arbitration Procedure The arbitration shall be decided by a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with AAA�s or JAMS� rules, as applicable.  The arbitrator will decide the dispute in accordance with the terms of our Agreement and applicable substantive law, including the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitation.  The arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law.  The arbitrator may award damages or other relief (including injunctive relief) available to the indi vidual claimant under applicable law.  The arbitrator will not have the authority to award relief to, or against, any person or entity who is not a party to the arbitration.  The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other proprietary or confidential information.  Any arbitration hearing shall take place in the federal judicial district that includes your home address, unless you and we agree in writing to a different location or the arbitrator so orders.  If all Claims are for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in -person hearing in accordance with AAA�s or JAMS� rules.  At your or our request, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.  The arbitrator�s award shall be final and binding, subject to judicial review only to the extent allowed under the Federal Arbitration Act.  You or we may seek to have the award vacated or confirmed and entered as a judgment in any court having jurisdiction.  No Class Action or Joinder of Parties  You and we agree that no class action, private attorn ey general, or other representative claims may be pursued in arbitration, nor may such action be pursued in court if either you or we elect arbitration.  Unless mutually agreed to by you and us, Claims of two or more persons may not be joined, consolidated , or otherwise brought together in the same arbitration (unless those persons are joint account owners or beneficiaries on your account and/or related accounts, or parties to a single transaction or related transaction).  If this specific paragraph is determined by the arbitrator to be unenforceable, then this entire provision shall be null and void.   Arbitration Costs Unless the applicable arbitration rules at the time of filing a Claim are more favorable to you, we will advance (i) all arbitration costs in an arbitration that we commence, and (ii) the first $2,500 in arbitration filing, administration, and arbitrator�s fees in an arbitration that you commence.  To the extent allowed by applicable law and our agreements, the arbitrator may award arbitration costs and attorneys� fees to the prevailing party. Applicable Law You and we agree that you and we are participating in transactions that involve interstate commerce and that this provision and any resulting arbitration are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.  To the extent state law applies, the laws of the state governing your account relationship apply.  No state statute pertaining to arbitration shall apply.  This Arbitration Provision shall not apply to a party who is a covered borrower under the Military Lending Act.    
  Severability Except as this provision otherwise provides, if any part of this provision is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable by the arbitrator, that part will be severed from the remainder of this provision and the remainder of this provision will be enforced.   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, call or write to us.     In your letter or call, 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.   What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter or Call: When we receive your letter or call, we must do two things: 1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter  or call, 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  or call, 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 Revolve 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 Card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase.  To use this right, all of the following must be true:  1. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.) 2. You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card Account   do not qualify. 3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.   If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing. 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.  SPECIAL RULES FOR CREDIT CARD PURCHASES DO NOT APPLY TO PURCHASES MADE WITH CONVENIENCE CHECKS OR BALANCE TRANSFER CHECKS.  z16-ELAN FIDELITY
