You may only receive a Line Number when you open your Account. Citizens is the issuer of your Line of Credit and any associated line number assigned to your Account. All extensions of credit in connection with the Account are made by Citizens. This Agreement establishes the terms of the Account and should be retained for your records. By using your Account to make a Purchase or other transaction or otherwise authorizing a Purchase, keeping or otherwise accepting the Line Number or Account, you agree to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. This Agreement means this document and the Account Summary Table, and any changes we make to these documents, from time to time.

  1. Your Promise to Pay and How to Use Your Account: You are liable for use of the Line Number or Account by you and any person with actual, implied, or apparent authority to act for you, including any person you have designated to us as an authorized user (“Authorized User”). Any such use will constitute acceptance of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, even though this Agreement is not signed. You authorize us to pay and charge your Account for any and all purchases resulting from use of the Line Number or the Account (each a “Purchase”). You promise to pay us (in U.S. Dollars drawn on U.S. financial institutions) as required by this Agreement for all of these Purchases, plus interest charges and all other fees and charges owed under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all Purchases made or used by an Authorized User).
    Use of the Line Number or Account may include physical use, mail or telephone order, computer or other electronic transactions made without presenting the Line Number, or any other circumstance where you authorize a charge or authorize someone else to charge the Account. You may only use your Line Number to make purchases from Retailer. You agree to use the Line Number and the Account only for lawful personal, family or household purposes. You agree that you and each Authorized User will not use the Line Number or the Account for any commercial or unlawful purposes (e.g., gambling). We reserve the right to block all such transactions. In the event that an improper charge is processed, you will be liable for the charge to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Joint account holders are joint and severally liable.
  2. About the Financing Offers that Might be Available to You:
    1. Generally: Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, we may occasionally, at our option, make certain financing offers available for certain types of Purchases (“Promotional Offers”). Details of the Promotional Offer will be described in the specific offer. Features of Promotional Offers may include, among other things, interest-free periods; deferral and forgiveness of interest if a purchase is paid in full within the promotional period (and any other conditions are satisfied); reduced interest rates; and/or special payment terms, including payments higher than otherwise required. The benefits of Promotional Offers may be contingent upon payment of your Account in accordance with this Agreement and/or the Promotional Offers. Information about Promotional Offers will be shown separately on your monthly billing statement (“Statement”) or at the purchase stage, as long as the Promotional Offer is in effect. If you use your Account with a Promotional Offer, you acknowledge and agree that the specific terms of the Promotional Offer will modify and become part of this Agreement, and all other terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply to the Promotional Offer. The standard provisions of this Agreement apply to all transactions not subject to a Promotional Offer. Subject to applicable law, we may condition any Promotional Offer on your compliance with the specified requirements and may not permit you to participate in Promotional Offers, if any, if you are late on any payment(s).
    2. Promotional Offers that May be Available to You: If a Promotional Offer is available at the time of your purchase, you will receive information at that time regarding the terms of the offer. There may be certain purchase requirements, such as certain types of goods and/or services or minimum dollar amounts that must be met, for a purchase to be eligible to be financed on a given Promotional Offer. There also may be other restrictions. The specific terms of the type of Promotional Offers that we may make available to you for certain transactions from time to time are as set forth below in this Section C; provided, however, that such terms may be modified or supplemented by the terms set forth on or with the sales receipt or that are provided electronically or otherwise at the time of the purchase.
    3. Examples of Promotional Offers that May be Available:

      0% APR with an Equal Number of Payments Term: For this type of Promotional Offer, the APR for Purchases will be 0% from the date of the purchase until the promotional balance has been paid in full. The minimum payment on the promotional balance are designed to pay the promotional balance in full at the end of the promotional term if on-time payments are made and will equal the amount of the qualifying purchase by the applicable repayment factor. This amount is then rounded to the nearest penny. The repayment factor is based upon the 0% APR and the number of months in the promotional period.

      Standard APR: For this type of Promotional Offer, the APR for Purchases will be based on creditworthiness, and remain constant from the date of the purchase until the balance has been paid in full.

      Same as Cash: For this type of Promotional Offer, the APR for Purchases will be 0% from the date of the purchase until the promotional period ends (i.e. 12 billing cycles), and interest charges will begin to accrue at a stated APR (based on creditworthiness) on the remaining balance, the day after the promotional period ends.
  3. How We Calculate the Interest Charges on Your Account:
    1. Interest and Any Minimum Interest Charges: Each billing cycle, we separately determine the interest charges on standard Purchases as applicable and each separate kind of promotional Purchase (each, a “Type of Balance”). For each Type of Balance, we determine interest charges each billing cycle by multiplying the Balance Subject to Interest Rate by the applicable Daily Periodic Rate (see Section 4 for Interest Rate information) and by then multiplying the result by the number of days in the billing cycle. For each Type of Balance, the Balance Subject to Interest Rate is the average daily balance (including new transactions), as calculated pursuant to Section 3.b. below. To get the total interest charges each billing cycle, we add together the interest charges for all Types of Balances.
    2. How We Will Calculate Interest on Your Account: We use a method called “Average Daily Balance (including new transactions)” to compute the interest charge. For each Type of Balance, the Balance Subject to Interest Rate is the total of the closing daily balances for such Type of Balance for all the days in the billing cycle (treating any negative balance as $0.00), divided by the number of days in such cycle. The closing daily balance for each Type of Balance equals the balance at the beginning of the day, plus any new transactions of the same Type of Balance and less any payments and credits applied to such balances. At the beginning of each billing cycle, the closing daily balance for each Type of Balance will also include any applicable interest charges and fees carried over from the immediately preceding billing cycle; and in the case of a deferred interest Promotional Offer it will include any interest charges that may have been assessed on the unpaid promotional balance at the end of the Promotional Offer term.
    3. How Interest Accrues and How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases: On each Purchase, interest begins to accrue on the transaction date. Generally, you can avoid paying interest on standard Purchases in any given billing cycle if you pay your entire statement closing date balance (identified on your Statement as the “New Balance”) for that billing cycle in full by the Payment Due Date reflected on that Statement. If you have a promotional balance(s) on your Account, you may still be able to avoid paying interest on standard Purchases provided you pay by the Payment Due Date, the amount that equals the required Minimum Payment Due for that billing cycle plus the total outstanding standard Purchase balance as of the first day of that billing cycle. For each Type of Balance that is a separate kind of promotional Purchase, please see Section 2 of this Agreement for more information about how to avoid paying interest on these transactions.
    4. Treatment of Late Fees: We do not charge interest on Late Fees.
  4. The Interest Rates on your Account: The “Annual Percentage Rate” or “APR” is the annual rate of interest charged on Account balances. In connection with a Promotional Offer, we may charge a reduced promotional rate of interest. The Daily Periodic Rate will equal the APR divided by 365.
  5. A Minimum Payment is Due Each Month: Each billing cycle you agree to pay at least the minimum payment due by the payment due date shown on your monthly Statement (the “Minimum Payment Due”). Each Minimum Payment Due will be due the same day of each month (“Payment Due Date”) as reflected on the Statement (which will be at least 21 days after your Statement closing date each month).

    The Minimum Payment Due will be calculated as follows:
    1. Equal installment payments over the term of the financed amount provided that payments are received by their payment due date; payments made after the payment due date may incur additional interest charges; plus
    2. each payment amount due in connection with a Promotional Offer balance, such as a special payment calculation, as described in Section 2 of this Agreement; plus
    3. any applicable fees and charges (except interest charges) assessed in the particular billing cycle; plus any past due amount.
      Credits, adjustments, refunds and similar Account transactions may not be used in place of payment of any portion of a required minimum payment. If you pay ahead by paying more than the Minimum Payment Due in one billing cycle, you will not be excused from paying the Minimum Payment Due in subsequent billing cycles.
  6. If You Pay Late You May Be Assessed a Late Fee: If the Minimum Payment Due is not received by the Payment Due Date on the Statement, we may charge you a late fee of $8 for each late payment up to six total times each calendar year. You understand and agree that any late fee assessed on your Account will be included in the Minimum Payment Due calculated for the billing Statement on which the fee appears.
  7. Administrative Fees: If you request a paper copy of a Statement or sales draft or payment check, you may pay a fee so long as it is not prohibited by applicable law. The amount of the fee will be disclosed at the time you request this optional service. However, you will not be charged for copies of billing Statements, sales drafts, or other documents that you request for a billing error/inquiry you may assert under applicable law.
  8. Your Credit Limit:
    1. Generally: Your initial credit limit is provided at account opening. Your current credit limit will also be shown on your Statement.
    2. Changes to Your Credit Limit: In our discretion, at any time, subject to applicable law, we may increase or decrease the credit limit that applies to your Account without providing prior notice to you. We will provide notification of any such change and your credit limit will be listed on the Statement. You may ask us to change your credit limit by contacting Customer Service at the number we provide to you when your Account is opened. We do not have to agree to any such request.
    3. Going Over Your Credit Limit: You agree to not go over your credit limit. The Bank may permit you to go over your limit, in our own discretion. If your Account goes over your credit limit, you agree to pay the over limit amount when it is billed to you, or sooner upon request. If we permit you to exceed your credit limit, we will not have waived any of our rights under this Agreement, and reserve the right to deny future, similar requests.
  9. Your Monthly Billing Statements: We will send a notification email to the email address we have in our records when your Statement is ready and you may access your statements online at pay.citizensbank.com or such other website we make available to you. If you have elected to receive paper statements, your statement will be sent to the physical, on-file address.
  10. How Your Payments Are Applied to Your Account Balance: Subject to the following and applicable law, payments will generally be applied first to the oldest Purchases.
    1. How the Minimum Payment is Applied to Your Account: We decide how to apply the Minimum Payment to the balances on your Account. We may apply your Minimum Payment Due in the following order: (i) to interest charges and other fees; and then (ii) to purchase transactions with the lowest Daily Periodic Rates and corresponding APRs.
    2. Application of Payments in Excess of Minimum Payment. We will generally apply payments and credits in excess of the Minimum Payment Due in the following order: (i) to purchase transactions with the highest Daily Periodic Rates and corresponding APRs; (ii) to purchase transactions with the lowest Daily Periodic Rates and corresponding APRs; and (iii) to interest charges and other fees. This means you may be required to pay off a balance that is subject to the standard APR before your excess minimum payment would be applied to any APR Promotional Offer balance.
  11. How You Can Make Payments on Your Account: YOU MAY AT ANY TIME PAY OFF THE FULL UNPAID BALANCE OR PART OF THE UNPAID BALANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. For purposes of this Section 12, the term “business day of the Bank” or “business day” means Monday through Friday (excluding bank holidays).
    1. Payments by Mail: Payments must be sent to the address designated on the Statement. Payments received at such address with the return portion of the Statement by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on a business day will be credited on the day of receipt. However, if the payment due date falls on a day when we do not accept payments, we will not treat any payment as late if we receive it by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on the following business day. Payments received after 5:00 PM Eastern Time Monday through Saturday (excluding bank holidays) will be credited on the next business day. There may be a five (5) day delay of crediting if payments are not received in U.S. dollars, not made in the envelope provided with the Statement and accompanied by the payment stub which is part of the Statement, and/or not received at the address for payments designated on the Statement. You will need to allow up to seven (7) days for the U.S. Postal Service to deliver your payment. Payments must be made by check or money order payable in U.S. funds and drawn on a financial institution located within the United States. We do not accept payments on this Account at our branches.

      Your available credit may not be immediately increased by the amount of your payment for up to seven (7) days to ensure we collect the funds from the bank on which your payment is drawn. If you overpay or if there is a credit balance on your Account, you will not be paid interest on that amount.
    2. Same Day Telephone Payments: You may also call us and arrange for an expedited payment through a customer service representative. By doing so, you authorize us or our agent to automatically initiate a single entry ACH debit to your checking account and will authorize your financial institution to accept these debits and charge them to your checking account. Payments arranged by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on business days will be credited on a same-day basis and payments arranged after 5:00 PM Eastern Time on a business day or on a non-business day will be credited on the next business day.
    3. Pay Online: You may make a single payment or set up recurring payments to your Account by enrolling in the Online Account Management service at: pay.citizensbank.com. To enroll, enter your Account number, social security number, and zip code. Payments requested by 5:00 PM Eastern Time will be credited to your Account on the same day. Payments requested after 5:00 PM Eastern Time will be credited on the next day to your Account. A payment requested by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on a weekend or federal holiday will be credited as of the day you make the payment.
    4. Electronic Fund Transfer: If you utilize a check to make payment on this Account, you authorize us to use the information from the check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your checking or deposit account or to process the payment as a check transaction. When we use the information from your check to make an electronic fund transfer, the funds may be withdrawn from your checking or deposit account as soon as the same day you make the payment and you understand you may not receive the check back from your financial institution.
  12. If Your Payment is Returned Unpaid: If a payment you make is not honored by your financial institution and it has already been credited by us to your Account, we will reverse the credit and add the amount of the payment back to the Account as of the day the payment was first credited to the Account.
  13. Irregular Payment and Delay in Enforcement: We may accept late payments, partial payments, check and money orders marked “Paid in Full” or language having the same effect without losing any of our rights under this Agreement. We can also delay enforcing our rights under this Agreement any number of times without losing them.

  14. If You Have a Credit Balance: We will return to you any credit balance on your Account over $1 within six (6) months (or, in our discretion, for a shorter time period).

We may reduce the amount of any credit balance on your Account by applying the credit balance towards new fees and charges posted to your Account.
  15. Purchases Made by Your Authorized Users: We may allow you to have Authorized Users who may use your Account. When you allow an Authorized User to use your account, you will be liable for all transactions made by the person, including transactions for which you may not have intended to be liable, and even if the amount of liability causes you to exceed your credit limit. You must notify us at the telephone number provided to you when you opened your Account to revoke your permission to allow an Authorized User to use your Line Number or Account. Until you revoke your permission, you remain responsible for all charges made by the Authorized User, even if you did not intend to be liable.
  16. Entire Agreement: You agree that this Agreement (as amended and supplemented from time to time), including the Account Summary Table, and the application constitute the final expression of the agreement between you and us and that this Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreement between you and us regarding your Account. Retailer and its employees have no authority to change, add to or explain the terms of this Agreement except to provide you with Promotional Offers.
  17. If You Default on This Agreement: You agree that you will be in default, and we will not be obligated to honor any attempted use of your Account (even if we do not give you advance notice) if any of the following events occurs:

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

If you are a Covered Borrower, as defined by the Military Lending Act, the arbitration provisions set forth in this section do not apply to you.

This section constitutes the Arbitration Agreement between you and us.

  1. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW LEGAL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US ARE RESOLVED. If you do not opt out, either you or we may elect to have any dispute between us resolved by binding arbitration. If elected, neither you nor we will have the right to: (1) have a court or a jury decide the dispute; (2) engage in information-gathering (discovery) to the same extent as in court; (3) participate in a class action in court or in a class arbitration; or (4) join or consolidate a claim with claims of any other persons. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. The decision of the arbitrator is generally final and binding. You have the right to cancel or opt out of this Arbitration Agreement as set forth below.

  2. Special Definition of “We,” “Us,” and “Our.” For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, the terms “we,” “us” and “our,” in addition to the meanings set forth in this Agreement, also refer to our employees, officers, directors, parents, controlling persons, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns.

  3. Binding Arbitration. If you have a dispute with us, and we are not able to resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that upon election by either you or us, the dispute will be resolved through the arbitration process as set forth in this part. A “claim” or "dispute," as used in this Arbitration Agreement, is any unresolved disagreement between you and us, arising from or relating in any way to your Citizens Pay Line of Credit Agreement, addendums or modifications thereto, or the relationship between us. It includes any disagreement relating in any way to services, accounts or any other matters; to your use of any of our banking facilities; or to any means you may use to access your Account(s). Any claims or disputes arising from or relating to the advertising of our services, the application for, or the approval or establishment of your Account are also included. Claims are subject to arbitration, regardless of what theory they are based on, whether they seek legal or equitable remedies, or irrespective whether they are common law or statutory (federal or state) claims. Arbitration applies to any and all such claims or disputes, whether they arose in the past, may currently exist, or may arise in the future. Disputes include any claim or dispute, whether in contract, tort, statute or otherwise, including disagreements about the meaning, application or enforceability of this arbitration agreement.

  4. TRIAL WAIVER: YOU AGREE THAT YOU AND WE WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE IN A PUBLIC COURT. Individual claims filed in a small claims court (or an equivalent state court) are not subject to arbitration, as long as the matter remains in small claims (or equivalent state) court. If either you or we fail to submit to binding arbitration of an arbitrable dispute following lawful demand, the party so failing shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by the other in compelling arbitration.

  5. CLASS ACTION AND CLASS ARBITRATION WAIVER: NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHERS IN ANY COURT ACTION OR ARBITRATION, OR TO INCLUDE IN ANY COURT ACTION OR ARBITRATION ANY DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS, OR TO ACT IN ANY ARBITRATION IN THE INTEREST OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY, UNLESS THOSE PERSONS ARE JOINT BORROWERS OR BENEFICIARIES ON YOUR LINE OF CREDIT. This is so whether or not the claim has been assigned.

  6. Arbitration Procedures. You or we may submit a dispute to binding arbitration at any time, regardless of whether a lawsuit or other proceeding has been previously commenced. Each arbitration, including the selection of the arbitrator(s), shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS according to such forum’s rules and procedures. You may obtain a copy of the arbitration rules for these forums, as well as additional information about initiating arbitration by contacting these arbitration forums: American Arbitration Association at 1-800-778-7879 (toll-free) or www.adr.org; or, JAMS at 1-800-352-5267 (toll-free) or www.jamsadr.com. In the event that JAMS or the AAA is unable to handle the dispute for any reason, then the matter shall be arbitrated instead by a neutral arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties pursuant to the AAA rules of procedure; or, if the parties cannot agree, selected by a court in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code) (“FAA”). To the extent that there is any variance between the selected forum’s rules and this Arbitration Agreement, this Arbitration Agreement shall control.

    If you initiate the arbitration, you must notify us in writing at Citizens Pay Merchant Financing, PO Box 42124, Providence, RI 02940-2124. If we initiate the arbitration, we will notify you in writing at your last known address in our file.

    The arbitration shall take place in the federal judicial district in which you reside, unless the parties agree to a different location in writing. Arbitrators must be members of the state bar where the arbitration is held, with expertise in the substantive laws applicable to the subject matter of the dispute. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation.

    The arbitrator will follow applicable substantive law to the extent consistent with the FAA. The arbitrator will give effect to the applicable statutes of limitation and will dismiss barred claims. In addition, you or we may submit a written request to the arbitrator to expand the scope of discovery normally allowable. At the timely request of either you or us, the arbitrator must provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the award. A judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.

    You and we agree that in our relationship arising from this Line of Credit Agreement: (1) the parties are participating in transactions involving interstate commerce; (2) the arbitrator shall decide any dispute regarding the enforceability of this arbitration agreement; and (3) this arbitration agreement and any resulting arbitration are governed by the provisions of the FAA, and, to the extent any provision of that act is inapplicable or unenforceable, the laws of the state that govern the relationship between you and us.

    No arbitrator shall have authority to entertain any dispute on behalf of a person who is not a named party, nor shall any arbitrator have authority to make any award for the benefit of, or against, any person who is not a named party.

  7. Arbitration Costs. The party initiating the arbitration (or appeal of the first arbitration award) shall pay the initial filing fee. If you file the arbitration and an award is rendered in your favor, we will reimburse you for your filing fee. If there is a hearing, we will pay the fees and costs for the first day of that hearing. All other fees and costs will be allocated in accordance with the rules of the arbitration forum. However, we will advance or reimburse filing and other fees if the arbitrator rules that you cannot afford to pay them or finds other good cause for requiring us to do so; or if you ask us in writing and we determine in good faith there is justifiable reason for doing so. Each party shall bear the expense of their respective attorneys, experts, and witnesses and other expenses, regardless of who prevails, but the arbitrator will have the authority to award attorneys and expert witness fees and costs to the extent permitted by the Line of Credit Agreement, the forum’s rules or applicable law.

  8. Arbitration Award and Appeal. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. Any party can, within 30 days after the entry of the award by the arbitrator, appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the forum. The panel shall reconsider anew all factual and legal issues, following the same rules of procedure and decide by majority vote. Reference in this Arbitration Agreement 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 above paragraph entitled “Arbitration Costs.” Any final decision of the appeal panel is subject to judicial review only as provided under the FAA.

  9. Severability and Survival. If any part of this Arbitration Agreement, other than the Class Action Waiver, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall be enforceable. The Class Action Waiver is non-severable. If deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the whole Arbitration Agreement shall be void and null. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive changes in this Agreement and termination or modification of the Account or the relationship between you and us, including the bankruptcy of any party and any sale of your Account, or amounts owed on your Account, to another person or entity.

  10. Notice and Cure; Special Payment. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you may give us a written Claim Notice describing the basis of your claim and the amount you would accept in resolution of the Claim, and a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the claim. Such a Claim Notice must be sent to us by certified mail, return receipt requested, at Citizens Pay Merchant Financing, PO Box 42124, Providence, RI 02940-2124. This is the sole method by which you can submit a Claim Notice. If (1) you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with this Paragraph on your own behalf and not on behalf of any other party; (2) you cooperate with us by promptly providing the information we reasonably request; (3) we refuse to provide you with the relief you request; and (4) the matter then proceeds to arbitration and the arbitrator subsequently determines that you are entitled to such relief (or greater relief), you will be entitled to a minimum award of at least $3,000 (not including any arbitration fees and attorneys’ fees and costs to which you will also be entitled). You should address all claims you have in a single Claim Notice and/or a single arbitration. Accordingly, this $3,000 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 $3,000 are not contemplated.

  11. Rights Preserved. This Arbitration Agreement does not prohibit you or us from exercising any lawful rights or using other available remedies to preserve, or obtain possession of property; exercise self-help remedies, including setoff rights; or obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as injunctive relief, attachment, garnishment or the appointment of a receiver by a court of competent jurisdiction.

  12. Right to Cancel or Opt Out of This Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement to resolve any claim or dispute. To opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, you must send us written notice of your decision within 45 days of the date of the Line of Credit Agreement. Such notice must clearly state that you wish to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement section of this Line of Credit Agreement. It should include your name, address, line of credit number and your signature and must be mailed to Arbitration Opt-Out, PO Box 6067, Providence, RI 02940-6067. This is the sole method by which you can opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. Your exercise of the right to opt out will not affect any remaining terms of this Note and will not result in any adverse consequence to you or your loan/account. You agree that our business records will be final and conclusive evidence with respect to whether you opted out of this arbitration agreement in a timely and proper fashion. Where a joint account is involved, an ‘opt out’ notice from one joint owner is effective only as to that joint owner.

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.

In Case of Errors or Questions about Your Bill

If you think your bill is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction on your bill, write us (on a separate sheet) at: Disputes Dept Citizens, PO Box 2988 Omaha, NE 68103-2988, as soon as possible. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you the first bill on which the error or problem appeared. You can telephone us at 1-888-522-9881 but doing so will not preserve your rights. In your letter, give us the following information:

  • Your name and account number

  • The dollar amount of the suspected error

  • Describe the error and explain, if you can, why you believe there is an error. If you need more information, describe the item you are not sure about. You do not have to pay any amount in question while we are investigating, but you are still obligated to pay the parts of your bill that are not in question. While we investigate whether or not here has been an error the following are true:

  • 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.

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 why we believe the bill is correct.

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 Line of Credit Purchases

If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your line of credit and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the Retailer, 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;

(2) you must have used your line of credit for the purchase; and

(3) you must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.

If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at: Citizens Pay, PO Box 2360, Omaha, NE 68103.

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.

How much to pay: You must pay at least the minimum amount due by the payment due date. You may pay the entire balance at any time. Any amount past due must be paid immediately.

Unsecured Line of Credit. This is an unsecured line of credit.
