Deferred Interest Promotional Credit Plan: Each individual purchase transaction of $149 or more made with a participating retailer and placed on your Card will qualify for repayment under the six month promotional credit plan terms as described within this Pricing Information and in the Credit Card Agreement ("Deferred Interest Promotional Credit Plan"). Interest will be deferred if the qualifying promotional purchase is paid in full within six months.

CFNA Mastercard Consumer Credit Card: If the qualifying promotional purchase is not paid in full within six months, interest will be imposed from the date of qualifying promotional purchase at a Rate of 26.24%. The APR is variable and will change as set forth in the Credit Card Agreement and/or Pricing Information. The rate will not exceed 29.99%.
The Minimum Payment Due for each Billing Cycle will be the greater of (a) 3.5% of the New Balance (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar) plus all past due amounts and any Late Payment Fee, Returned Payment Fee, or other unpaid fees incurred during the previous Billing Cycle; or (b) $29 (or any amount less than $29 needed to pay your Account balance in full). We will also add any amounts provided as part of a promotional plan. The Deferred Interest Promotional Credit Plan requires minimum monthly payments. The New Balance used to determine your Minimum Payment Due includes Regular Credit Plan transactions and Promotional Plan balances (see Section 6 below for a description of Credit Plans).
CFNA Private Label Consumer Credit Card: The Periodic Interest Rate that applies to your Revolving Balance is 2.499% (corresponding APR 29.99%) ("Interest Rate").

Both the Periodic Interest Rate and APR are variable and will change as set forth in the Credit Card Agreement and/or Pricing Information. The APR will not exceed 29.99%.
CFNA Mastercard Consumer Credit Card: How do you calculate my Variable Rates? Your APRs may increase. Your variable rates may change when the Prime Rate changes. We calculate variable rates by adding a percentage to the Prime Rate published in the money rates table of The Wall Street Journal on the 25th day of December, March, June and September. If the rate is not published on that day, then we use the immediately preceding edition. Any changes to the rates will take effect on the first day of your billing periods that begin in February, May, August and November. To determine your Purchase APR, we add a margin of 18.74% to the Prime Rate. Any increase in the Prime rate may increase your Interest Charges and your Minimum Payment. The APR will not exceed 29.99%.
Minimum Interest Charge of $2 will be charged for any Billing Cycle in which an Interest Charge of less than $2 would otherwise be imposed.
Late Payment Fee: The Late Payment Fee will be $30, or $41 if you did not make the Minimum Payment in any of the six prior Billing Cycles by the Payment Due Date.
Returned Payment Fee: The Returned Payment Fee will be $30, or $41 if you had a Returned Payment Fee in any of the six prior Billing Cycles.
How We Determine Whether You will Receive the CFNA Mastercard Consumer Credit Card or the CFNA Private Label Consumer Credit Card: Your credit history and application will be reviewed to determine whether you qualify for the CFNA Mastercard Consumer Credit Card. If we are unable to approve you for the CFNA Mastercard Consumer Credit Card, you will automatically be considered for the CFNA Private Label Consumer Credit Card. The CFNA Mastercard Consumer Credit Card can be used wherever Mastercard is accepted within the United States. The CFNA Private Label Consumer Credit Card can only be used at participating retailers in the United States.
We may change APR, Fees, and other terms at any time and for any reason in accordance with this Credit Card Agreement and applicable law.

For joint Accounts, each of you promises to do everything this Agreement requires. You specifically promise to pay all amounts owed because of transactions made on your Account by any of you or with your consent, and by any Authorized User. You will be bound by this Agreement when you submit an Application that is approved by us, sign a sales slip using the Card, or use or permit someone else to use credit provided through the Card or Account.

If that happens, we may tell you to pay us immediately everything you owe under the Account and applicable law. We will tell you in advance and/or give you an opportunity to cure your default only if applicable law requires us to do so.
3. CREDIT LIMIT. The Credit Limit of your Account is the total maximum amount we allow you to owe us at any time. If you exceed any credit limit that we have set for your Account, we can still charge you for all transactions, Interest Charges and other charges ("Finance Charges") without giving up any of our rights under this Agreement. We may increase or decrease your Credit Limit at any time at our option. The reasons for changes may include, for example, your credit history with us, your default under this Agreement (see Section 2 above), fraud prevention or changes to this credit card program or CFNA policy. A portion of your available credit may be inaccessible until we confirm that your payment has been honored.
4. MONTHLY STATEMENTS; BILLING CYCLES. We will send you a Statement at the end of each Billing Cycle in which (a) your Account has a balance of $1 or more, (b) an Interest Charge is imposed or (c) applicable law requires us to send a Statement. We send only one Statement for your Account each month. Each Statement will show, among other things, the date on which the most recent Billing Cycle ended (the "Statement Closing Date" of the Billing Cycle), Previous Balance, Payments and Credits, Transactions, Interest Charges, other Fees and Charges, Payment Due Date, New Balance, Minimum Payment Due, and each qualifying promotional purchase made during the most recent Billing Cycle (if applicable). A Billing Cycle means the days between Statement Closing Dates.
5. PAYMENTS.
A. Minimum Payment. You may pay all of your Account balance at any time without penalty. You must pay us at least the Minimum Payment Due for each Billing Cycle by the Payment Due Date shown on your Statement. See the Credit First National Association Pricing Information for more information about how we calculate the Minimum Payment Due.
B. Methods of Payment. If paying by mail, send your personal check or money order, payable in U.S. dollars, along with the payment coupon to Credit First N.A. at the payment address shown on your statement. Payments received by 5PM Eastern Time (ET) at the payment address shown on your statement will be credited as of the business day of receipt. If received after 5PM ET, the payment will be credited as of the next business day. Payments made through the CFNA website (CFNA.com), Interactive Voice Response System (IVR, self-service option), or through a CFNA representative (Private Label Credit Card: 800.321.3950 or Mastercard Credit Card: 833.402.1481) prior to 11:59PM ET will be credited as of the same business day; Payments made after 5PM ET may not be reflected on your account for up to 1-2 business days. Follow all of the instructions for making a payment specified on your Statement. Any payment that does not conform to these requirements may not be credited to your Account for up to five days, or may be rejected.
All check payments must be issued by a legitimate U.S. based bank registered to do business in the U.S. Do not send cash. You agree not to send us any check marked "payment in full" or with similar terms or conditions. If you do, the check must be sent to our Dispute Resolution Department at a separate address for inquiries specified on your statement. We can accept such checks as late or partial payments without losing our right to receive the full amount owed on your Account.
C. Application of Payments. We apply payments first to previously billed Interest Charges and Fees; then to your purchases. The application of payments may be amended by promotional terms. Except as otherwise prohibited, we will apply payments greater than the required Minimum Payment amount to balances on your Account in a way that is deemed appropriate by us. We will also follow the requirements of applicable law when allocating your payments. For credits that we apply to your account other than payments, we will apply them in a way that is deemed appropriate by us, except as may be required by applicable law.
For Deferred Interest Promotional Credit Plan, when a payment is received during the two Billing Cycles immediately preceding the expiration of the Deferred Interest Promotional Credit Plan, we will apply any amount in excess of your required minimum payment first to the expiring Deferred Interest Promotional Credit Plan balance. If multiple Deferred Interest Promotional Credit Plan balances become due in the same Billing Cycle, we will apply any amount in excess of your required minimum payment to the Deferred Interest Promotional Credit Plan balances in order, from the oldest to the newest based on the purchase date.
6. CREDIT PLANS.
A. Regular Credit Plan. You may use your Account for transactions that may or may not be subject to promotional credit plan terms. Any balance of transactions not subject to promotional credit plan terms will be part of your Regular Credit Plan and treated as your "Revolving Balance."
B. Promotional Credit Plans. At our option, we may offer additional promotional plans. Any promotional plans offered may apply for a limited period of time. Our rights and your responsibilities will change if you make a qualifying purchase under a promotional plan. If your purchase amount qualifies for a promotional plan, you will automatically be enrolled in promotional financing and the applicable promotional plan terms will be given to you in a separate document. Promotional plan terms temporarily modify certain terms of this Agreement for qualifying purchases, and all other terms of this Agreement remain unchanged. Any temporary modification of Agreement terms for promotional plans will not limit or affect any other rights we have under this Agreement or applicable law.
7. INTEREST CHARGES. See the Credit First National Association Pricing Information for information about your Periodic Interest Rate and Annual Percentage Rate for Interest Charges.
We will calculate periodic Interest Charges on your Account for each Billing Cycle by multiplying a monthly periodic rate ("Periodic Interest Rate") by the Average Daily Balance (including new transactions) on your Account. A Periodic Interest Rate is one-twelfth of its corresponding Annual Percentage Rate ("APR"). We will charge you a Minimum Interest Charge as described in Credit First National Association Pricing Information section for any Billing Cycle in which the Interest Charge that would otherwise be imposed is less than the Minimum Interest Charge identified in Credit First National Association Pricing Information.
The Average Daily Balance for your Revolving Balance is calculated by determining the daily balance for your Revolving Balance. To get the daily balance, we take the beginning Revolving Balance of your Account each day. Then we subtract any payments or credits applied to your Revolving Balance, and any unpaid Interest Charges. We add to that amount any new Regular Credit Plan transactions, Late Payment Fees, and other Account fees and administrative charges. We then add up all the daily balances and divide by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. This gives us the Average Daily Balance for your Revolving Balance. We do not charge Interest Charges on unpaid Interest Charges, that is, we do not compound Interest Charges.
Interest Charges accumulate on each purchase from the later of (a) the date of the transaction or (b) the first day of the Billing Cycle in which the transaction posts to your Account. Any interest which may have been waived due to the receipt of a payment, and which payment is later deemed insufficient or rejected will result in the re-application of waived interest to your account. We do not assess Interest Charges in the following circumstances:
For Deferred Interest Promotional Credit Plan(s), we will calculate periodic Interest Charges on the qualifying promotional purchases during the Delay Period as a separate balance from your regular purchases. The Delay Period for qualifying promotional purchases begins on the later of (a) the date you make the qualifying promotional purchase or (b) the first day of the Billing Cycle in which the qualifying promotional purchase posts to your Account. The Delay Period ends on the Statement Closing Date of the Billing Cycle that includes the end of the stated period of the promotional plan. For example, in a six-month promotional plan, the Delay Period ends on the sixth Statement Closing Date after the qualifying promotional purchase posts to your Account. Any unpaid balance of the qualifying promotional purchases at the end of the Delay Period is added to your Revolving Balance in the Billing Cycle that begins immediately after the Delay Period ends.
You will not owe us Interest Charges that accumulate on the qualifying promotional purchases during the Delay Period if we receive (a) the required Minimum Payment Due by its Payment Due Date for each Billing Cycle during the Delay Period and (b) the full amount of your qualifying promotional purchases by the end of the Delay Period.
If we do not receive the full amount of the qualifying promotional purchases by the end of the Delay Period, you will owe us Interest Charges that accumulated (a) on such qualifying promotional purchases during the Delay Period and (b) on the qualifying promotional purchases in the prior Billing Cycle. The Interest Charges may not appear on your billing statement immediately but will be charged in a subsequent billing period.
The Credit First National Association Pricing Information describes a Deferred Interest Promotional Credit Plan(s) on your Account, and other Plans may be offered from time to time. If multiple Deferred Interest Promotion Credit Plans are offered, the Delay Period will be communicated to you prior to the qualifying promotional purchase being applied to your Account.
8. FEES.
A. Late Payment Fee. If we do not receive at least the Minimum Payment Due within the timeframes described in the Method of Payment section (section 5B) on your Payment Due Date, we may add to your Account a Late Payment Fee in the amount set forth in the Credit First National Association Pricing Information.
However, the Late Payment Fee will never exceed the amount of your required Minimum Payment to which the Late Payment Fee relates. Any Late Payment Fee assessed will be added to the Revolving Balance on your Account.
B. Returned Payment Fee. If your payment by check, ACH, electronic debit or other instrument is dishonored by your bank or must be returned for any reason, we will add a Returned Payment Fee in the amount set forth in the Credit First National Association Pricing Information.
However, the Returned Payment Fee will never exceed the amount of your required Minimum Payment to which the Returned Payment Fee relates. Any Returned Payment Fee assessed will be added to the Revolving Balance on your Account.
C. Replacement Fee. If you request a replacement Card, we may charge you a fee for the replacement Card and if expedited mailing is requested, we may charge you an expedited mailing fee.
9. LOST OR STOLEN CARD OR IDENTITY THEFT. If you notice the loss or theft of your credit card or a possible unauthorized use of your card (including suspected identity theft), you should write to us immediately at CFNA, Customer Service, P.O. Box 81315, Cleveland, Ohio 44181-0315 or call us at 800.321.3950 - Private Label Credit Card or 833.402.1481 - Mastercard Credit Card. You will not be liable for any unauthorized use that occurs after you notify us. You may, however, be liable for unauthorized use that occurs before your notice to us. In any case, your liability will not exceed $50.
10. ACCOUNT CANCELLATION.
A. How to Cancel Your Account. You (either of you if more than one) may cancel your Account at any time by notifying us by telephone or in writing. You still must pay the full amount you owe us.
B. We Have the Right to Cancel Your Account. We may cancel your Account and Cards at any time for any reason. Any Card issued for your Account must be cut in half and the pieces sent to us if we ask. This includes each Card you gave to others. You still must pay the full amount you owe us, and this Agreement will continue to apply to any unpaid balance.
11. CREDIT AUTHORIZATIONS. We will authorize all Account purchases in advance. A merchant may ask you to provide identification. However, in certain circumstances, we may not be able to authorize a transaction, even if you have sufficient available credit. For example, we will not authorize a transaction if our authorization system is not working or if we suspect possible fraud. We will not be liable to you if this occurs. We may not authorize a transaction if your Account is over your Credit Limit or delinquent; if we authorize such a transaction, we do not consider it to be an increase in your Credit Limit. We are not responsible if any merchant refuses to accept or honor your Credit Card.
12. CREDIT INVESTIGATION AND CREDIT REPORTS. You hereby authorize us to investigate your credit record. You agree that a credit report may be requested in connection with the processing of an application for credit, and subsequently in connection with any extension of credit, or any consideration of an increase to your credit limit, or any renewal or update of your Account, or to take collection action on the Account, or to investigate disputes regarding the Account. You also authorize us to furnish information concerning the status and payment history of your Account to credit reporting agencies and other creditors. If you believe that we have reported inaccurate information about you to a credit reporting agency, please contact us at CFNA, Customer Service, P.O. Box 81315, Cleveland, Ohio 44181-0315. In doing so, please provide your Account number, name, address, phone number, and any other supporting documentation, in addition to specifying the inaccurate information and explaining why you believe it is incorrect. If you have a copy of the credit report that includes the inaccurate information, please send a copy of that report to us as well.
13. COMMUNICATIONS. You authorize us, or our servicers, assignees, or third party debt collectors to contact you by telephone, mail, e-mail, fax, prerecorded message, automated voice, text message, digital, computerized, or other means allowed by law regarding your Account. You agree that we may call you about your Account using an automatic dialing - announcing device and that these calls will not be deemed "unsolicited" calls under state or federal law. You understand and agree that by providing us with a wireless telephone number, you consent to receiving autodialed and prerecorded message calls or text messages from us or our servicers, assignees, or third party debt collector at that number. Message and data rates may apply and message frequency varies. We may monitor and/or record telephone calls between you and us for quality assurance. You agree that monitoring and/or recording may be done and that no additional notice to you or additional approval from you is needed.
SMS Fraud Alert Text Messages: CFNA may employ a fraud alert text messaging service. If this service is used, CFNA will not charge you for the service. Fraud alert text messages may be sent to you. The frequency of these fraud alerts text messages will vary as they are only sent when there is a suspicion of fraud on your Account. Message and data rates may apply.

19. ARBITRATION. For purposes of this Arbitration Section, the terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to Credit First National Association, its parents, wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, employees, officers and directors. If either you or we choose arbitration, neither you nor we will have the right to litigate that claim in court or to have a jury trial on that claim, or to engage in pre-arbitration discovery, except as provided for in the arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). In addition, you will not have the right to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants related to any claim subject to arbitration. The arbitrator's decision will generally be final and binding. Other rights that you would have if you went to court may also not be available in arbitration. It is important that you read the entire arbitration provision carefully before accepting the terms of this Agreement.
A "Claim" is any pre-existing, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy of any kind (including but not limited to constitutional, statutory, regulatory, common law, contract, tort and equitable claims) arising from or relating to (a) the credit offered or provided to you or requested by you, (b) the actions of you, us or third parties, or (c) the validity or meaning of this arbitration provision and every other provision in this Agreement.

This Section does not apply to any of our regular Account collection efforts. If this Section (or any part of it) is determined invalid or illegal under any applicable statute or rule of law, it will be deemed omitted without affecting any other provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
There shall be no authority for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis. An arbitration can only decide our or your Claim and may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons who may have similar claims.
Any arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the AAA's rules applicable to consumer disputes. For additional information go to: http://www.adr.org/. Any arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in the federal judicial district where you reside. At your request, we will advance the first $250 of the filing and hearing fees for any Claim you may file against us; the arbitrator will decide whether we or you will ultimately pay those fees. This arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized by law. This arbitration provision shall survive repayment of your extension of credit and termination of your Account.
Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of law of competent jurisdiction.
You can reject this Arbitration Section if you write to us within 30 days after we open your Account. Send a letter that you do not agree to the Arbitration Section. The letter must include your name, address and Account number. Mail the letter to CFNA, Legal, P.O. Box 81315, Cleveland, Ohio 44181-0315. This is the only way you can reject the Arbitration Section.

If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing or electronically at CFNA, Customer Service, P.O. Box 81315, Cleveland, Ohio 44181-0315. You may also contact us on the web at www.cfna.com or email us at Sales_Disputes@cfna.com.
While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will inform you of our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.
