INTEREST CHARGES

INTEREST CHARGES for purchases and cash advances are calculated at a monthly periodic rate of , which is equivalent to an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (“APR”) of .
Variable Rate.
The APR may increase or decrease on the first day of the subsequent monthly Billing Cycle based on changes in the prime rate (“Index“). The APR is calculated by adding the amount of margin stated below to the Index. The Index is the prime rate published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal on the 25th day of each month. If the Index is not published on that day, the Index on the next business day will be used. Any increase in the APR may increase the amount of interest charged to your Account and the total amount you must pay, and may take the form of an increase in the monthly Minimum Payment. If the Index is no longer available, we will choose a new index that is based upon comparable information. The APR for purchases and cash advances will be determined by adding a margin of to the Index. INTEREST CHARGES are imposed on purchases beginning on the date a purchase is posted to your Account. However, INTEREST CHARGES will not be imposed on purchases made in any Billing Cycle in which the previous balance shown on your Monthly Billing Statement is zero and you pay your new balance in full by the Payment Due Date shown on your Monthly Billing Statement. INTEREST CHARGES are imposed on cash advances beginning on the date a cash advance is obtained and continuing until the balance of your Account is paid in full. There is no time in which you can pay the balance of cash advances in order to completely avoid INTEREST CHARGES.
INTEREST CHARGES for a Billing Cycle are calculated separately for purchases and cash advances. There is no minimum INTEREST CHARGE. The INTEREST CHARGE calculation begins on the date the transaction is posted to your Account.
For purchases, the INTEREST CHARGE is computed by multiplying the monthly periodic rate by the average daily balance of purchases. To determine the average daily balance of purchases, we take the beginning outstanding balance of purchases each day, add any new purchases, and subtract any payments and/or credits. This gives us the daily balance of purchases. (Any daily balance that is a credit balance is treated as zero ($0.00) balance.) Then, we add all the daily balances of purchases for the Billing Cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. This gives us the average daily balance of purchases.
For cash advances, the INTEREST CHARGE is computed by multiplying the monthly periodic rate by the average daily balance of cash advances. To get the average daily balance of cash advances, we take the beginning outstanding balance of cash advances each day, add in any new cash advances, and subtract any payments and/or credits that we apply to the cash advance balance. This gives us the daily balance of cash advances. (Any daily balance that is a credit balance is treated as zero ($0.00) balance.) Then, we add all the daily balances of cash advances for the Billing Cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. This gives us the average daily balance of cash advances.

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter.
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:

1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error.
2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the Monthly Billing Statement 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 CHARGES

  on that amount.
• While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your Account balance.
• We can apply any unpaid amount against your Credit Limit.

After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:

• If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any INTEREST CHARGES, Fees and Other Charges 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 CHARGES, Fees and Other Charges. We will send you a Monthly Billing 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 Monthly Billing Statement 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 Monthly Billing Statement. 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 Monthly Billing Statement 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 Card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your 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 at:

Cardholder Services
P.O. Box 3220
Buffalo, NY 14240-3220
