See exceptions below.
l We will not charge you interest during a billing cycle on any purchases if:
1. You had no balance at the start of the billing cycle; OR
2. You had a balance at the start of the billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in
that billing cycle.
l We will credit, as of the start of the billing cycle, any payment you make by the due date that we allocate
to purchases if:

2. You had a balance at the start of the previous billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due
date in the previous billing cycle.

How We Calculate Interest We figure the interest charge on your account separately for each balance type. We do this by applying the
daily rate to the daily balance for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance is calculated for the
following balance types, as applicable: purchases and balances subject to different interest rates, plans or special
promotions. See below for how this works.
1. How to get the daily balance: We take the starting balance each day, add any new charges and fees, and
subtract any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance.
We apply fees to balance types as follows:
(a) late payment fees are treated as new purchases; and
(b) debt cancellation fees are added proportionately to each balance.
2. How to get the daily interest amount: We multiply each daily balance by the daily rate that applies.
3. How to get the starting balance for the next day: We add the daily interest amount in step 2 to the daily
balance from step 1.
4. How to get the interest charge for the billing cycle: We add all the daily interest amounts that were charged
during the billing cycle.
We charge a minimum of $1.50 of interest in any billing cycle in which you owe interest. This charge is added
proportionately to each balance type.
Late Payment Fee We will charge this fee if we do not receive the total minimum payment due on your account by 5 p.m. (ET) on
the due date. This fee is equal to:
1. $29, if you have paid your total minimum payment due by the due date in each of the prior six billing cycles.
OR
2. $40, if you have failed to pay your total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the
prior six billing cycles.
The late payment fee will not be more than the total minimum payment that was due.
At times, we may offer you special financing promotions for certain transactions (“special promotions”). The terms of this Agreement apply to any special
promotions. However, any special promotional terms that are different than the terms in this Agreement will be explained on promotional advertising or other
disclosures provided to you. Below is a description of certain special promotions that may be offered:
For each promotion, if the promotional balance is not paid in full within the promotional
l No Interest if Paid in Full Within 6 Months
period, interest will be imposed from the date of purchase at the variable Purchase APR that
applies to your account when the promotional purchase is made.
l No Interest if Paid in Full Within 12 Months
At the time your account is opened, the variable Purchase APR is 26.74%.
l No Interest if Paid in Full Within 24 Months Your Purchase APR will vary with the market based on the prime rate.
When you make a qualifying purchase under one of these promotions, no interest will be assessed on the purchase if you pay the following (the “promotional
balance”) in full within the applicable promotional period: (1) the promotional purchase amount, and (2) any related optional credit insurance/debt cancellation
charges. If you do not, interest will be assessed on the promotional balance from the date of the purchase. Minimum monthly payments are required.
Regular account terms apply to non-promotional purchases and, after promotion ends, to promotional purchases. Offers are subject to credit approval. These
promotional offers may not be available at all times for all purchases. Please see any special promotional advertising or other disclosures provided to you for
the full terms of any special promotion offered.

10. The arbitration will take place by phone or at a location reasonably convenient to you. If you ask, we will pay all the fees the administrator or
arbitrator charges if you cannot obtain a waiver of fees from the administrator and are acting in good faith. We will pay arbitration costs required
by the administrator’s rules or that are necessary for this Arbitration section to be enforced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will be required
to advance half of all administrative fees and arbitrator’s fees (and to be responsible for payment of such fees to the extent not advanced) if
you pursue arbitration as part of a group of similar arbitrations, or if you otherwise seek to participate in a mass arbitration proceeding. If an
arbitration already in process is later determined to be part of a mass arbitration proceeding, we shall have the right to request that the arbitrator
order you to reimburse us for fees already paid or advanced.
11. GOVERNING LAW. This Arbitration section is governed by the FAA. Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant under the FAA, unless
otherwise stated herein. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction
may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. The arbitration award and any judgment confirming it will apply only to the specific case and
cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award.
12. SURVIVAL. This Arbitration section shall survive the repayment of all amounts owed, the termination, cancellation or suspension of the Agreement
or your account or credit privileges, any legal proceeding, and any bankruptcy by you, to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. If
this Arbitration section conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules or the other provisions of the Agreement, this Arbitration section shall govern.
13. SEVERABILITY. If any portion of this Arbitration section is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain
in force with the following two exceptions. First, if a determination is made that the “No Class Actions” provision is unenforceable, and that
determination is not reversed on appeal, then this Arbitration section shall be void in its entirety. Second, if a court determines that a public
injunctive relief claim may proceed notwithstanding the “No Class Actions” provision, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the
public injunctive relief claim will be decided by a court, and any individual claims will be arbitrated. The parties will ask the court to stay the public
injunctive relief claim until the other claims have been finally concluded.
14. HOW TO REJECT ARBITRATION. You may reject this Arbitration section. If you do that, a court will resolve any dispute or claim. To reject
this section, send us a notice within 45 days after you open your account or we first provided you with your right to reject this section. The
notice must include your name, address, account number, and personal signature, and must be mailed to Synchrony Bank, P.O. Box 965012,
Orlando, FL 32896-5012. This is the only way you can reject this section. Rejecting this Arbitration section will not affect any other provision of
the Agreement. It will also not affect any prior arbitration agreement or dispute resolution provision between you and us, which will remain in
full force and effect. If you don't reject this Arbitration section, it will be effective as of the date of the Agreement and will supersede any prior
arbitration agreement between you and us that would otherwise be applicable.
