1. THE CARD PROGRAM

This Providers Cardholder Agreement (this “Agreement”) represents an agreement between you and Sutton Bank, member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) (the “Bank”), and contains the terms and conditions governing the Providers Card program (the “Program”), including the Providers Card Mastercard® debit card (the “Card”). This Agreement supplements, but does not replace, the Providers Card Terms of Use, Providers Card Privacy Policy, and other applicable agreements between you and Propel, Inc. (“Propel”). By checking the associated checkbox while registering or by using the Card, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and the related fee schedule (see Section 40 below), which applies to your use of the Card and is incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, do not click on the associated checkbox in the registration flow and do not activate or use the Card. Please contact Customer Service to cancel your Card.

The following definitions and instructions apply to this Agreement: “You”, “your”, and “Cardholder” mean the person who has requested a Personalized Card authorized to use a Card as provided for in this Agreement. “We,” “us,” and “our” mean the Bank and/or its successors, affiliates, and assignees. Propel, Inc. is the entity managing the Card Program (“Program Manager”). “Card Account” means the prepaid account associated with your Card in which we account for the loads, transactions, fees and other claims associated with your Card. “Card” means the personalized Providers Mastercard debit card issued to you by Sutton Bank, which enables you to make certain electronic fund transfers to and from your Card Account with Sutton Bank. Unless it would be inconsistent to do so, words and phrases used in this Agreement should be construed so that the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular. Our business days are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays, even if we are open. Any references to “days” found in this Agreement are calendar days unless indicated otherwise.

You acknowledge and agree that the value available in your Card Account is limited to the funds that you have loaded on your Card Account or that have been loaded to your Card Account on your behalf. The expiration date of the Card is identified on the back of your Card. The Card is a debit card and can only be used to access value that has previously been loaded onto it. The Card is not connected in any way to any other card or bank account. The Card is not a credit card nor a charge card and your use of the Card will not affect your credit rating. You will not receive any interest on your funds in the Card Account. The Card will remain the property of the Bank and must be surrendered upon demand. The Card is non transferable, is not for resale, and it may be canceled, repossessed, or revoked at any time without prior notice subject to applicable law. The Card is designed for personal (including familial and household)use, and we may cancel your Card if we determine that it is being used for business purposes. We may refuse to process any transaction that we believe may violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement or that may be fraudulent or illegal.

Keep record of your Account information in case your Card is lost, stolen, or destroyed. Please read this Agreement carefully and keep it for future reference.

Issuance to you of a Personalized Card is subject to successful completion of the identification verification process and receipt of the Bank’s approval (see the paragraph of this Agreement below captioned “Important Information about Opening a New Card Account”). YOU CANNOT USE YOUR PERSONALIZED CARD TO PERFORM TRANSACTIONS UNTIL YOU HAVE ACTIVATED YOUR PERSONALIZED CARD AND SELECTED A PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (“PIN”), IF APPLICABLE, PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

BY ACTIVATING YOUR CARD OR PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM IN ANY WAY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. YOU FURTHER REAFFIRM YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THE PROVIDERS CARD TERMS OF USE AND PRIVACY POLICY. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE BANK PRIVACY POLICY APPLY TO YOUR USE OF THE CARD AND TO DISPUTES OR QUESTIONS ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

2. CARD USE

The Card is a debit card usable wherever debit cards bearing the Mastercard network brand (“Card Network”) are accepted worldwide. The Card is not a gift card. The Card is not a device that accesses money in an individual checking or savings account, but instead connected to an underlying prepaid account held at Sutton Bank. When you use your Card, you are redeeming the value on the Card and not making a withdrawal from a checking or savings account. Your Card is NOT a bank deposit account, or a charge card that allows you to make purchases or obtain advances and pay later. You may use your Card to make purchases at any merchant that accepts the Card Network’s cards, subject to your available Card Account balance and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. You may not use your Card for any online gambling, escort services, any illegal transaction, or for transactions determined by the Program to be high risk for fraud. The Card will have a printed expiration date and the Card will expire, in accordance with applicable law, on the expiration date. If your Card Account is in good standing and you have available funds on the Card, we will issue you a new Card upon expiration. The Card is our property and is non transferable. We may revoke or suspend your Card or any features or services of your Card at any time without cause or notice. (See Section 29 for additional details.) You must surrender a revoked Card and you may not use an expired or revoked Card. You are required to notify us promptly if the Card is lost or stolen

3. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OPENING A CARD ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who obtains a Card. Accordingly, when you request a Card Account, we will ask you for certain information, including, but not limited to, your name, address, date of birth, Social Security Number, phone number, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also request additional identifying information and documentation from time to time in connection with your access to or use of certain Card features, functionality, and services.

After your Card Account is opened, we may ask again to see a copy of your driver’s license or other identifying documents at any time if we deem it is necessary to verify your identity, address, or transactions on your Card Account. If we ask for specific identifying documents, we will have the right to immediately close or suspend your Card Account if those specific documents are not provided. These measures are specifically designed to help us protect your identity and prevent possible fraud on your Card Account.

4. CARD REGISTRATION/ACTIVATION

You must register and activate a Card before it can be used. You can register and activate a Card by accessing the Providers mobile application and clicking to apply for a Providers Card.

How to Register Your Card. To register for a Card, you will need to complete an application that requires basic contact information (name, cell phone number, and email), mailing address, and proof of identity, as well as the creation of a password. You also will need to verify your cell phone. Once we have approved your application, you will receive access to a virtual card immediately, and a physical Personalized Card will be mailed to you at the address we have on file.

Activating Your Card. Your Card must be registered and activated prior to use. You can activate your card by following the directions within the Providers App to: (1) first enter the last 4 digits of your Providers Card, (2) confirm your identity (e.g. with the last 4 digits of your Social Security number), and finally (3) select a 4-digit PIN (re-entering it to confirm).

5. PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN)

You will select your PIN during the registration process. Never share your PIN with anyone. Do not write your PIN on your Card or keep your PIN with your Card. Do not select a PIN that is easily guessed by others (such as 1234, your date of birth, etc.). When entering your PIN, be sure it cannot be observed by others and do not enter your PIN into any terminal that appears to be modified or suspicious. If you believe that anyone has gained unauthorized access to your PIN, you should advise us immediately following the procedures in the paragraph labeled “Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers.”

6. ADDRESS AND NAME CHANGES

You are responsible for notifying us of any change in your name, physical address, phone number, mailing address, or email address. Requests for address or name changes may be subject to additional verification requirements.

We will attempt to communicate with you only by use of the most recent contact information you have provided to us. You agree that any notice or communication sent to you at an address (whether physical or email) noted in our records shall be effective unless we have received an address change notice from you.

We cannot accept responsibility for any email messages not received by you, or for any delay in the receipt or delivery of any email notifications. If you make your email account available to any other individual, you agree that you are responsible for any release of your Card Account information to such individuals.

7. AUTHORIZED CARD USERS

You are responsible for all authorized transactions initiated and fees incurred by use of your Card. If you permit another person to have access to your Card, Card Account number or PIN we will treat this as if you have authorized such use and you will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by those persons. You are wholly responsible for the use of each Card associated with your Card Account according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8. FDIC INSURANCE

The funds in your Card Account are held in a pooled account at the Bank. Those funds are eligible for FDIC insurance up to $250,000 on a pass-through basis and do not pay any interest. The availability of FDIC insurance is contingent upon Propel maintaining accurate records and determinations of the FDIC as receiver at the time of a receivership if the Bank should fail. Such coverage is subject to aggregation of all of your deposits held at the Bank.

For further information about deposit insurance generally, you may write to the FDIC at 550 17th Street, N.W., Washington D.C. 20429, telephone the FDIC’s toll-free hotline at 877-275-3342, or visit its website at www.fdic.gov.

9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

By activating the Card or by retaining, using, or authorizing the use of the Card, you represent and warrant to us that: (i) you are at least 18 years of age (or older if you reside in a state where the majority age is older); (ii) you are a U.S. citizen or lawfully residing in the U.S., Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia (with a valid U.S. tax ID); (iii) you have provided us with a verifiable U.S. street address (not a P.O. Box); (iv) the personal information that you provide to us in connection with the Card is true, correct, and complete; (v) you received a copy of this Agreement and the Bank Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by and to comply with its terms; and (vi) you accept the Card.

10. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

EXCEPT FOR ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES WE PROVIDE IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO YOU, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, REGARDING THE CARD OR RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

We are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of any goods or services you purchase with your Card.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR: DELAYS OR MISTAKES RESULTING FROM ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTS OF GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, NATIONAL EMERGENCIES, INSURRECTION, WAR, OR RIOTS; THE FAILURE OF MERCHANTS TO HONOR THE CARD; THE FAILURE OF MERCHANTS TO PERFORM OR PROVIDE SERVICES; COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FAILURES; OR FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO YOUR EQUIPMENT, ANY INTERNET SERVICE, OR ANY PAYMENT SYSTEM. IN THE EVENT THAT WE ARE HELD LIABLE TO YOU, YOU WILL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER YOUR ACTUAL DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL YOU BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF YOU HAVE ADVISED US OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT BE EFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR RECOVERY FOR ANY ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OR MISCONDUCT BY US SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT LOADED ON THE CARD.

12. CASH ACCESS AND TRANSACTION LIMITATIONS; ACCOUNT ACCESS LIMITATIONS

You acknowledge and agree that the value available to you in your Card Account is limited to the balance of your Card Account. Nevertheless, if any transactions cause the available balance in your Card Account to go negative, including any purchase transactions where the retailer or merchant does not request authorization, you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of any negative balance and any corresponding transaction fees. You agree to pay us promptly for the negative balance. If you do not promptly add sufficient funds to your Card Account to cover the negative balance, we may cancel your Card Account and pursue collection. To the extent allowed by applicable law, you are responsible for the reasonable costs we incur in collecting amounts owed by you to us under this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. We further reserve the right to offset any negative balance by any current or future funds you may load to or maintain in your Card Account or funds in any other Card Account you maintain with us now or in the future.

With your PIN, you may use your Card to obtain cash from any ATM or any point-of-sale device, as permissible by a merchant, that bears MasterCard, Maestro, Interlink or MoneyPass® acceptance marks subject to your daily cash withdrawal limit. MoneyPass Network ATMs are not available in all areas (go to www.moneypass.com for a MoneyPass ATM locator or visit the Providers Card app). All ATM transactions are treated as cash withdrawal transactions. You may use your Card at an ATM and withdraw funds from a participating bank. Any funds withdrawn from a POS device will be subject to the maximum amount that can be spent on your Card per every 24-hour period. These are our limits associated with withdrawing cash from your card.

The limits by frequency and dollar limit for different transaction types are as follows:

Transaction typeFrequency limitsDollar limit

Any funds withdrawn from a POS device or through a participating bank will be subject to the maximum amount that can be spent on your Card per day. If you seek to withdraw cash from a merchant POS device, please note that each merchant may establish limits as to how much cash may be obtained from a POS device at a single time or through a single location. This means that you may need to visit more than one merchant if you are seeking to withdraw cash in an amount which is less than or equal to the total limit above, but more than the limit established by the individual merchant.

13. LOADING YOUR CARD

You may load your Card Account:

a. Direct deposit, by arranging to have all or a portion of your paycheck, government benefits payment, tax refund check, or other electronic funds transfer deposited onto your Card using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system;

Your account will be subject to a maximum balance value of $30,000. If any inbound load would cause your account balance to be greater than $30,000, any load that would pull the balance above $30,000 will be rejected. If a merchant is utilizing micro deposits to verify your account, the maximum they may submit per transaction is $10 and the maximum they may submit per day is $10.

You will have access to VanillaDirect™ loads immediately after the load/reload or deposit is complete. Funds loaded by direct deposit will be available for use on the effective date of the deposit (timing may vary depending on when funds are received as well as any necessary internal reviews.) Funds loaded via transfer will be available for use on the effective date of the transfer. There may be fees associated with these methods of Card Account loading. For information about the fees, see the Long and Short Form attached.

You must load funds to your Card Account using one of the methods described in the preceding paragraph. We will not accept any checks, money orders, or cash mailed to us for deposit, or any inbound wire transfers to your Account. We are not liable for any checks, money order, or cash mailed to us. All checks, money orders, or cash sent to the Bank for loading onto your Card Account will be returned unless your Card Account has a negative balance at the time such check or money order is received, in which case the Bank may in its discretion choose to apply the check or money order proceeds to the negative balance owed.

14. PREAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS

The issuer bank’s routing number and the 13-digit direct deposit account number assigned to your Card can be used for preauthorized direct debits from merchants, Internet service or other utility service providers (“Merchants”) and for the purpose of initiating direct deposits to your Card. You may also arrange to make recurring payments to Merchants using your 16-digit Card number.

If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your Card Account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, you can call us at 877-404-4137 to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.

You can stop recurring payments. Here's how: Call us at 877-404-4137 in time for us to receive your request three (3) business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after you call. We will not charge you for the stop-payment order. If these regular payments may vary in amount, the Merchant you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, the actual amount and the date of the payment.You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set. If you askus to stop one of these payments three (3) business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your associated losses or damages.

15. FEES

Please reference the fee schedule in this agreement for applicable fees. We may update the fees from time to time and will provide at least 21 days notice of any change in fees that may adversely affect you as a customer.

All fee amounts will be withdrawn from your Card Account and will be assessed as long as there is a remaining balance on your Card Account, except where prohibited by law. Anytime your remaining Card Account balance is less than the fee amount being assessed, the balance of your Card Account will be applied to the fee amount resulting in a zero balance on your Card Account. If your Card Account does not have sufficient funds available to cover a fee, the amount of such fee will be deducted from any funds subsequently loaded to your Card Account.

If you use an ATM not owned by us for any transaction, including a balance inquiry, you may be charged a fee by the ATM operator even if you do not complete a withdrawal. This ATM fee is a third-party fee amount assessed by the individual ATM operator only and is not assessed by us. This ATM fee amount will be charged to your Card.

16. USING YOUR CARD

Limits on the Use of Your Card. You are not authorized to make purchases that in the aggregate exceed $2,500 per calendar day. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to limit the amount, number or type of transactions you can make on your Card and any funding or reload of your Card. Limits are outlined in the table in Section 12 of this agreement. We may, in our sole discretion, further limit your use of the Card at ATMs, and, in addition to our limits, an ATM owner or operator may impose additional withdrawal limits. The Card is for personal use only. You agree not to use the Card for business purposes. We may, in our sole discretion, close your Card if we determine that it is being used for business purposes. We may refuse to process any transaction if we believe it may violate the law or the terms of this Agreement. You agree that you will: (i) not use the Card atgambling websites, or at payment processors supportinggambling websites, or to purchase illegal goods or services; or as otherwise restricted by this agreement (ii) promptly notify us of any loss or theft of the Card; (iii) promptly notify us of the loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of any PIN used to access Card funds; and (iv) use the Card only as instructed. You agree not to use or allow others to use an expired, revoked, canceled, suspended or otherwise invalid Card.

You may use your Card to purchase or lease goods or services anywhere Mastercard debit cards are accepted (unless as otherwise restricted by this agreement) as long as you do not exceed the value available on your Card Account. Some merchants do not allow cardholders to conduct split transactions where you would use the Card as partial payment for goods and services and pay the remainder of the balance with another form of legal tender. If you wish to conduct a split transaction and it is permitted by the merchant, you must tell the merchant to charge only the exact amount of funds available on the Card to the Card; failure to do so may result in a decline.You must then arrange to pay the difference using another payment method.Some merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash. I At the time of each purchase using the Card, you may be asked to sign a receipt for the transaction.The dollar amount of the purchase will be deducted from the value associated with the Card.

If you use your Card at an automated fuel dispenser (“pay at the pump”), the merchant may preauthorize the transaction amount up to $75.00 or more.If your Card is declined, even though you have sufficient funds available, pay for your purchase inside with the cashier.If you use your Card at a restaurant, a hotel, or for similar purchases, the merchant may preauthorize the transaction amount for the purchase amount plus up to 20% or more to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover tips or incidental expenses incurred.Any preauthorization amount will place a “hold” on your available funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase.Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorization amount on hold will be removed.It may take up to seven (7) days for the hold to be removed.During the hold period, you will not have access to the preauthorized amount.

If you use your Card number without presenting your Card (such as for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if you used the Card itself.For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of transactions you can make on your Card.Your Card cannot be redeemed for cash except where required by law.You may not use your Card for online gambling, escort services or any illegal transaction.We may refuse to process any Card transaction that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement, applicable law or as otherwise restricted by this Agreement .

Each time you use your Card, you authorize us to reduce the value available in your Card Account by the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. You are not allowed to exceed the available amount in your Card Account through an individual transaction or a series of transactions. Nevertheless, if a transaction exceeds the balance of the funds available on your Card, you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. We may deduct any amount that you owe us from any current or future funds associated with this or any other Card you activate or maintain.

For security reasons, we may limit the number or amount of transactions you can make with the Card.You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase or payment transaction originated by use of your Card. You may not make preauthorized regular payments from your Card Account using your Card Account’s direct deposit account number.If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to thirty (30) days or more.

17. FRAUDULENT OR CRIMINAL CARD ACCOUNT ACTIVITY

We reserve the right to block, suspend, or cancel your Card, as a result of our policies and processes, if we detect what we reasonably believe to be fraudulent, suspicious, or criminal activity or any activity inconsistent with this Agreement. We may temporarily suspend your Card in the event we detect unusual or suspicious activity. If we exercise this right, we will incur no liability to you because of any resulting unavailability of the funds in your Card Account or your inability to use your Card.

18. REFUNDS AND RETURNS

If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with your Card, you agree to accept credits to your Card for such refunds and agree to the refund policy of that merchant. The exchange or return of merchandise purchased in whole or in part with the Card will be governed by the procedures and policies of each merchant and applicable law. At the time of any exchange or return, you should present both the merchandise receipt and the Card. If you receive a credit, the credit may not be added to the available funds on the Card for seven (7) business days. Neither the Bank, the Card Network, the processor nor the Program Manager, nor their respective affiliates, employees or agents areresponsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspects of goods or services that you purchase from others with a Card or any damages resulting directly or indirectly from the use of the Card. All such disputes must be addressed and handled directly with the merchant from whom those goods or services were provided.

19. CARD REPLACEMENT

If you need to replace your Card for any reason, please contact us at help@providerscard.com to request a replacement Card. You will be required to provide personal information which may include your Card number, full name, transaction history, copies of accepted identification, etc.We reserve the right to require an affidavit signed by you and conduct an investigation into the validity of any request. There is a fee for requesting a replacement card which is detailed in the long and short form tables in this agreement. There is a fee for expedited shipping of a replacement Card in the amount shown in the paragraph of this Agreement captioned “Fees,” which will be deducted from the balance associated with the new Card. It may take up to thirty (30) days to process a request for a replacement Card although we will endeavor to provide you with a replacement Card on as timely a basis as is reasonable under the circumstances.

CARD EXPIRATION

The Card plastic is valid through the expiration date shown on the front of the Card, except where prohibited or modified by applicable law. The funds associated with the Card do not expire. You will not be able to use your Card after the expiration date; however, you may request a replacement Card by following the procedures in the paragraph labeled “Card Replacement.” The new Card will have a value equal to the remaining balance of the expired Card.

21. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

If you obtain your funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which your Card was issued, the amount deducted from your funds will be converted by the Card Network into an amount in the currency of your Card. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by the Card Network from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate the Card Network itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. If you obtain your funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which your Card was issued, the Bank may assess a foreign currency conversion fee of 3% of the transaction amount and will retain this amount as compensation for its services. Transactions made outside of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories are also subject to this conversion fee even if they are completed in U.S. currency. The conversion rate may be different from the rate in effect on the date of your transaction and date it is posted to your account.In addition to the currency conversion charge, we will impose any additional fees as outlined in the fee schedule in this agreement.

22. RECEIPTS

You should get a receipt at the time you make a transaction using your Card.You agree to retain, verify, and reconcile your transactions and receipts.

23. CARD ACCOUNT BALANCE/PERIODIC STATEMENTS/CARDHOLDER AGREEMENT

You are responsible for keeping track of your Card Account available balance. Merchants generally will not be able to determine your available balance. It is important to know your available balance before making any transaction.

You may obtain information about the amount of money you have remaining in your Card Account by calling 877-404-4137 or by accessing your account in the Providers mobile application. Monthly periodic statements reflecting your card activity are also available in the Providers mobile application.

A copy of this Agreement is available to you in the Providers mobile application.

24. UNCLAIMED PROPERTY

Applicable unclaimed property law may require us to report to state government authorities any funds remaining with respect to your Card after a certain period of inactivity. In that event, we may try to contact you at the address shown in our records. If we are unable to contact you, we may be required to transfer any funds remaining with respect to your Card to state government authorities as unclaimed property.

25. CONFIDENTIALITY

We may disclose information to third parties about your Card or the transactions you make:

  1. Where it is necessary or helpful for completing transactions;
  2. In order to verify the existence and condition of your Card for a third party, such as merchant;

26. OUR LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE TRANSACTIONS

If we do not properly complete a transaction from your Card on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:

  1. If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds available on your Card to complete the transaction;
  2. If a merchant refuses to accept your Card;
  3. If an ATM where you are making cash withdrawal does not have enough cash;
  4. If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does not operate properly, and you knew about the problem when you initiated the transaction;
  5. If access to your Card has been blocked after you reported your Card lost or stolen;

38. ARBITRATION CLAUSE

You or we may elect to resolve any claim by an individual arbitrator. Claims are decided by a neutral arbitrator. If arbitration is chosen by any party, you and we hereby waive the right to litigate the claim in court or have a jury trial on that claim. Further, you and we will not have the right to participate in a representative capacity or as a member of any class pertaining to any claim subject to arbitration.

Any claim, dispute, or controversy (“Claim”) between you and us arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, your Card, your purchase of the Card, your usage of the Card, or transactions on the Card, no matter how described, pleaded or styled, shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding individual arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in your state of residence at a location that is reasonably convenient for both parties.

We will pay all fees associated with administration of arbitration, including fees to commence the arbitration. At your written request, we will consider in good faith making a temporary advance of your share of any arbitration fees, or paying for the reasonable fees of an expert appointed by the arbitrator for good cause.

Arbitration procedures are generally simpler than the rules that apply in court, and discovery is more limited. The arbitrator’s decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court. Except as set forth below, the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding. Other rights you or we would have in court may also not be available in arbitration.

NO CLASS ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM OF ANOTHER PERSON SHALL BE ALLOWABLE IN ARBITRATION.

This Arbitration Clause shall survive: (i) the termination of this Agreement; (ii) the bankruptcy of any party; and (iii) any transfer, sale or assignment of your Card, or any amounts owed on your Card, to any other person or entity.If any portion of this Arbitration Clause is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force.Any different agreement regarding arbitration must be agreed to in writing.

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. §§ 1-16.

Solely for purposes of this Arbitration Clause, “We” or “Us” shall mean the Issuer, and its respective successors, affiliates or assignees as well as any third party using or providing any product, service or benefit in connection with the Card.

You may reject this Arbitration provision by completing and submitting this form within 45 days after your first card purchase. If you are unable to access the form you may send us signed written notice of your decision to reject Arbitration. Your written notice must: (i) be mailed within 45 days after your first card purchase, (ii) include your name, address, and account number, and (iii) cannot be signed by anyone but you. If you reject Arbitration neither this Arbitration provision nor any arbitration provision for other active Card accounts you may have will apply, except for any arbitration claims that were pending when you submitted your rejection notice. Your decision to reject this Arbitration provision will not affect any of your other rights or responsibilities under this Agreement.
