This Consumer Credit Card Agreement and Disclosure together with the Account Opening Disclosure and any other Account opening documents or any subsequent documents provided to You related to this Account (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Agreement”) govern the terms and conditions of this Account. “We,” “Us,” “Our” and “Ours” and “Credit Union” refers to Community Credit Union with which this Agreement is made. “You,” “Your,” and “Yours” refers to each applicant and co-applicant for the Account; any person responsible for paying the Account; and anyone You authorize to use, access or service the Account. "Card" means the Visa® credit card and any other access devices, duplicates, renewals, or substitutions, the Credit Union issues to You. "Account" means the line of credit established by this Agreement and includes Your Card.

1. USING YOUR ACCOUNT — By using the Account or keeping the Card, You agree to the terms of this Agreement. You agree to use Your Account in accordance with this Agreement. Your Account must only be used for lawful transactions.

2. CREDIT LIMIT — We may establish a credit limit as part of this Agreement, which You promise not to exceed. If You exceed the credit limit, You promise to repay immediately the amount which exceeds the credit limit, including amounts due to finance charges, fees or other charges. You may request a credit limit increase on Your Account only by a method acceptable to the Credit Union. We may increase or decrease Your credit limit, refuse to make an advance and/or terminate Your Account at any time for any reason permitted by law. The Credit Union may allow transactions on Your Account to exceed Your credit limit up to 5.00% above Your approved limit.

3. REPAYMENT — You promise to repay all amounts You owe under this Agreement. Your promise to repay includes all transactions made to Your Account by You or anyone You authorize to use Your Account as well as all interest charges and fees.

For each billing period, You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date.

The Minimum Payment Due is 2.00% of Your total New Balance, or $10.00, whichever is greater, plus any amount past due and any amount by which You have exceeded Your applicable credit limit. If Your total New Balance is less than $10.00, then Your Minimum Payment Due is the amount of the total New Balance.

You may pay more frequently, pay more than the Minimum Payment Due or pay the total New Balance in full.

If You make extra or larger payments, You are still required to make at least the Minimum Payment Due each month Your Account has a balance (other than a credit balance). The Credit Union may delay replenishing Your credit limit until the date the payment is posted or the Credit Union confirms the payment has cleared.

Your payment of the required Minimum Payment Due may be applied to what You owe the Credit Union in any manner the Credit Union chooses, as permitted by applicable law. If You make a payment in excess of the required Minimum Payment Due, the Credit Union will allocate the excess amount first to the balance with the highest annual percentage rate (“APR”) and any remaining portion to the other balances in descending order based on applicable APR, unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law. We may accept checks marked "payment in full" or with words of similar effect without losing any of Our rights to collect the full balance of Your Account with Us.

4. INTEREST AND FINANCE CHARGES — We will begin charging You interest on new purchases on the first day of the following billing cycle. We will begin charging You interest on cash advances and balance transfers on the date of the transaction or the first day of the billing cycle in which the transaction is posted to Your Account, whichever is later (transaction date). However, We will not charge You any interest on new purchases if You paid the entire new balance on the previous cycle’s billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement. To avoid an additional finance charge on the balance of purchases, You must pay the entire new balance on the billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement.

How We Calculate Your Balance:
Interest charges on Your Account are calculated separately for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances (“Transaction Type”). We figure the interest charge for each Transaction Type by applying the periodic rate to each corresponding “average daily balance.” To get the “average daily balance” for a Transaction Type We take the beginning balance for that Transaction Type each day, add any new transactions of that type (excluding new purchases), and subtract any unpaid interest or other finance charges and any applicable payments or credits. This gives Us the daily balance for each Transaction Type. Then, for each Transaction Type, We add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide each total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives Us the “average daily balance” for each Transaction Type.

5. FEES — In addition to the periodic rate, additional fees may be imposed on Your Account. If applicable to Your Account, the fee amounts and explanations are disclosed on the Account Opening Disclosure accompanying this Agreement.

6. FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS — Purchases and cash advances made in foreign currencies will be debited from Your Account in U.S. dollars. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by Visa from a range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The exchange rate used on the processing date may differ from the rate that would have been used on the purchase date or cardholder statement posting date.

A fee (finance charge) will be charged on all transactions completed in a foreign currency. All fees are calculated based on the transaction amount after it is converted to U.S. dollars. These fees are charged except where excluded. The Foreign Transaction Fee is set forth on the Disclosure accompanying this Agreement.

7. AUTHORIZATIONS — We do not guarantee authorization of a transaction, either by Us or by a third party, even if You have sufficient credit available. You agree that We will not be liable for failing to give an authorization. We also reserve the right to limit the number of transactions that may be approved in one day. We reserve the right to deny certain transactions for any reason and at Our sole discretion, including for default, suspected fraudulent or unlawful activity, internet gambling or any indication of increased risk related to the transaction or the Account. You agree that We have no requirement to notify You of the specific reason We denied a transaction. If We detect unusual or suspicious activity, We may suspend Your credit privileges until We can verify the activity, or We may close the Account.

8. INFORMATION UPDATING SERVICE AND AUTHORIZATIONS — If You have authorized a merchant to bill charges to Your Card on a recurring basis, it is Your responsibility to notify the merchant in the event Your Card is replaced, Your Account information (such as Card number or expiration date) changes, or Your Account is closed. However, if Your Card is replaced or Your Account information changes, You authorize Us, without obligation on Our part, to provide the updated Account information to the merchant in order to permit the merchant to bill recurring charges to Your Card. You authorize Us to apply such recurring charges to Your Card until You notify Us that You have revoked authorization for the charges to Your Card.

Your Card is automatically enrolled in an information updating service. Through this service, Your updated Account information (such as Card number or expiration date) may be shared with participating merchants to facilitate continued recurring charges. Updates are not guaranteed before Your next payment to a merchant is due. You are responsible for making direct payment until recurring charges resume. To revoke Your authorization allowing Us to provide updated Account information to a merchant, please contact Us.

9. PREAUTHORIZED CHARGES — We may suspend preauthorized recurring charges with merchants if, for example, Your Card is lost or stolen, You default, or We change Your Account for any reason. If preauthorized recurring charges are suspended, You are responsible for making direct payment for such charges until You contact the merchant to reinstate recurring charges.

10. DEFAULT — You will be in default under this Agreement if You fail to pay the Minimum Payment Due by its Payment Due Date; pay by a check or similar instrument that is not honored or that We must return because it cannot be processed; pay by automatic debit that is returned unpaid; make any false or misleading statements in any credit application or credit update; file for bankruptcy; or die. You will also be in default if You fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Agreement You have with Us.

If You default, We may close Your Account and require You to pay any unpaid balance immediately, subject to applicable law. In this Agreement and on Your Credit Card Application, You gave Us a security interest in all individual or joint share and/or deposit accounts with the Credit Union and authorized Us, if You defaulted, to apply the balance in these accounts to any amounts due. You agree We may rely on Your agreement and authorization to, upon Your default, apply any balance to any amounts due on Your Account.

11. LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE-LOST/STOLEN CARD NOTIFICATION — If You notice the loss or theft of Your credit card or a possible unauthorized use of Your Card, You should write to Us immediately at 144 Pine Street, Lewiston, ME, 04364 or call Us at (207) 783-2096, Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

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. You will have no liability for unauthorized use unless You are found to be fraudulent or negligent in the handling of Your Account or Card. In any case, Your liability for unauthorized transactions will not exceed $50.

12. CHANGING OR TERMINATING YOUR ACCOUNT — As permitted by law, the Credit Union may change the terms of this Agreement and any attached Disclosure from time to time. Notice of any change will be given in accordance with applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, changes to the Agreement may apply to Your existing account balance as well as to future transactions.

What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement
If You think there is an error on Your statement, write to Us at the address listed on Your statement. In Your letter, give us the following information:

• Account information: Your name and Account number.
• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.
• Description of problem: If You think there is an error on Your bill, describe what You believe is wrong and why You believe it is a mistake.

You must contact Us:

• Within 60 days after the error appeared on Your statement.
• At least three business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if You want to stop payment on the amount You think is wrong.

You must notify Us of any potential errors in writing or electronically. You may call Us, but if You do We are not required to investigate any potential errors and You may have to pay the amount in question.

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 bill 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 on that amount.
• While You do not have to pay the amount in question, You are responsible for the remainder of Your 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 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 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:

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 credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses Your credit card 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 or electronically at the address listed on Your statement.

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.

This Business Credit Card Agreement ("Agreement") includes this document, any letter, card carrier, card insert, addendums, any other document accompanying this Agreement, any application that you signed or submitted to the Credit Union, and any notification of changes to this Agreement. The words "you" and "your" mean each person, each business or organization ("organization"), and each officer or owner of the organization who agrees to be bound by this Agreement as set forth below. The words we, our, us and "Credit Union" means the Credit Union whose name appears on this Agreement or anyone to whom the Credit Union transfers this Agreement. The word "card" means the Visa business credit card you receive from the Credit Union and any duplicates, renewals, or substitutions the Credit Union issues to you. The word "account" means the credit card line of credit account the Credit Union approves for you that is subject to this Agreement.

1. PERSONS BOUND. By signing (in ink, electronically or digitally) any business loan application stating your agreement to be bound by this Agreement or by using the card or account we issue to you, or by authorizing an employee to use the card or account we issue to you, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you are an officer or owner obtaining an account for your organization, you agree to the terms of this Agreement in your personal capacity as well as your capacity as an officer or owner authorized to bind the organization to this Agreement.

2. USING YOUR ACCOUNT. If you are approved for an account, the Credit Union will establish a line of credit for you. The amount of your credit limit is set forth on the Addendum accompanying this Agreement. You agree that your credit limit is the maximum amount (purchases, cash advances, finance charges, plus "other charges") that you will have outstanding on your account at any time. If you exceed your credit limit, you must pay the amount you are over your limit plus any fees and unpaid finance charges before payments will begin to restore your credit limit. In addition, a fee may be imposed for exceeding your credit limit. The Credit Union may allow transactions on your account to exceed your credit limit up to 5.00% above your approved limit. You may request an increase in your credit limit only by a method acceptable to the Credit Union. The Credit Union may increase or decrease your credit limit, refuse to make an advance and/or terminate your account at any time for any reason not prohibited by law. If you are permitted to obtain cash advances on your account, we may from time to time issue convenience checks to you that may be drawn on your account. Convenience checks may not be used to make a payment on your account balance. If you use a convenience check it will be posted to your account as a cash advance. We reserve the right to refuse to pay a convenience check drawn on your account for any reason and such refusal shall not constitute wrongful dishonor.

You may request that we stop the payment of a convenience check drawn on your account. You agree to pay any fee imposed to stop a payment on a convenience check issued on your account. You may make a stop payment request orally, if permitted, or in writing. Your request must be made with sufficient time in advance of the presentment of the check for payment to give us a reasonable opportunity to act on your request. In addition, your request must accurately describe the check including the exact account number, the payee, any check number that may be applicable, and the exact amount of the check. You may make a stop payment request orally but such a request will expire after 14 days unless you confirm your request in writing within that time. Written stop payment orders are effective only for six (6) months and may be renewed for additional six month periods by requesting in writing that the stop payment order be renewed. We are not required to notify you when a stop payment order expires. If we re-credit your account after paying a check or draft over a valid and timely stop payment order, you agree to sign a statement describing the dispute with the payee, to assign to us all of your rights against the payee or other holders of the check or draft and to assist us in any legal action. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from all costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, damages, or claims, related to our honoring your stop payment request or in failing to stop payment of an item as a result of incorrect information provided to us or the giving of inadequate time to act upon a stop payment request.

3. STATEMENT OF BUSINESS PURPOSE. You agree that you have represented to us that you are obtaining your account for business purposes and that all purchases, cash advances, balance transfers, use of any convenience checks issued on your account and any other use of your account will only be for a business purpose. You agree that you will never use your account for any personal, household or family purposes.

4. USING YOUR CARD. You may use your card to make purchases from merchants and others who accept your card. The Credit Union is not responsible for the refusal of any merchant or financial institution to honor your card. If you wish to pay for goods or services over the Internet, you may be required to provide card number security information before you will be permitted to complete the transaction. In addition, the Credit Union may permit you to obtain cash advances from the Credit Union, from other financial institutions that accept your card, and from some automated teller machines (ATMs). (Not all ATMs may accept your card.) If the Credit Union authorizes ATM transactions with your card, it will issue you a personal identification number (PIN). To obtain cash advances from an ATM, you must use the PIN that is issued to you for use with your card. You agree that you will not use your card for any transaction that is illegal under applicable federal, state or local law. Even if you use your card for an illegal transaction, you will be responsible for all amounts and charges incurred in connection with the transaction. If you are permitted to obtain cash advances on your account, you may also use your card to purchase instruments and engage in transactions that we consider the equivalent of cash. Such transactions will be posted to your account as a cash advance and include, but are not limited to, wire transfers, money orders, bets, lottery tickets, and casino gaming chips, as applicable. This paragraph shall not be interpreted as permitting or authorizing any transaction that is illegal.

5. RESPONSIBILITY. You agree to pay all charges (purchases and cash advances, balance transfers, use of convenience checks and any other charge) to your account that are made by you or anyone whom you authorize to use your account. You also agree to pay all finance charges and other charges added to your account under the terms of this Agreement or another agreement you made with the Credit Union. If there is more than one person bound to this Agreement, each will be individually and jointly responsible for paying all amounts owed under this Agreement. If you are an organization, the officer or owner that obtained the account for the organization is also personally obligated for all charges made under the account. This means that the Credit Union can require any one of you to individually repay the entire amount owed under this Agreement. In addition each person bound under this Agreement, as well as any authorized user, may make purchases individually and, if cash advances are permitted for your account, may obtain cash advances individually.

6. INTEREST RATE. The Interest Rates applicable to purchases, cash advances, and balance transfers are disclosed on the Addendum that accompanies this Agreement. Any penalty rate that may be imposed is also disclosed on the Addendum. These rates may be either fixed or variable as disclosed in the Addendum accompanying this Agreement. If the rate for your account is fixed, the rate charged on purchases, cash advances, balance transfers, and any penalty rate will be fixed and will not vary from month to month unless we notify you in advance that the rate will change. If the rate for your account is variable, as indicated on the accompanying Addendum, the rate charged on purchases, cash advances, balance transfers and any penalty rate will vary periodically as disclosed in the Addendum accompanying this Agreement. The initial rate on your account for certain types of transactions may be an introductory discounted rate (Introductory Rate) that is lower than the rate that would ordinarily apply for that type of transaction. If an Introductory Rate applies to your account, the rates and the period of time it will be effective is shown on the Addendum accompanying this Agreement. After the Introductory Rate period expires, the Interest Rate will automatically increase to the rates that would ordinarily apply for that type of transaction based on the terms of this Agreement.

7. FINANCE CHARGE CALCULATION METHOD FOR PURCHASES. New purchases posted to your account during a billing cycle will not incur a finance charge for that billing cycle. Finance charges begin to accrue on those purchases from the first day of the next billing cycle, unless you paid the entire New Balance on the previous cycle’s billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement. To avoid an additional finance charge on the balance of purchases, you must pay the entire New Balance on the billing statement by the Payment Due Date of that statement. The finance charge is calculated separately for purchases and cash advances. For purchases, the finance charge is computed by applying the periodic rate to the average daily balance of purchases. To get the average daily balance of purchases, we take the beginning outstanding balance of purchases each day and subtract any payments and/or credits that we apply to the purchase balance. (We do not add in any purchases posted during the billing cycle.) This gives us the daily balance of purchases. 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.

8. FINANCE CHARGE CALCULATION METHOD FOR CASH ADVANCES. A finance charge begins to accrue on cash advances from the date you get the cash advance or from the first day of the billing cycle in which the cash advance is posted to your account, whichever is later. For cash advances, the finance charge is computed by applying the periodic rate to 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. 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.

9. OTHER CHARGES. In addition to the Interest Rate, additional fees may be imposed on your account. The amount and description of these fees are disclosed on the Addendum accompanying this Agreement.

10. PAYMENTS. Each month you must pay at least the minimum payment shown on your statement by the date specified on the statement or no later than twenty-five (25) days from the statement closing date, whichever is later. If your statement says the payment is "Now Due," your payment is due no later than twenty-five (25) days from the statement closing date. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars and if made by a negotiable instrument such as a check or money order, must be in a form acceptable to us and drawn on a U.S. financial institution. You may pay more frequently, pay more than the minimum payment or pay the Total New Balance in full. If you make extra or larger payments, you are still required to make at least the minimum payment each month your account has a balance (other than a credit balance). The minimum payment for your account is shown on the Addendum accompanying this Agreement. In addition to the minimum payment, you must also pay, by the date specified above, the amount of any prior minimum payment(s) that you have not made, all outstanding unpaid fees and charges, and any amount you are over your credit limit. The Credit Union also has the right to demand immediate payment of any amount by which you are over your credit limit. Subject to applicable law, your payments may be applied to what you owe to the Credit Union in any manner the Credit Union chooses. We may accept checks marked "payment in full" or with words of similar effect without losing any of our rights to collect the full balance of your account with us.

11. FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS. If you make a purchase or obtain a cash advance in a foreign currency, the transaction will be debited from your account in U.S. dollars. Visa will convert the transaction into U.S. dollars depending on whether you complete the transaction with a Visa card or if the transaction is processed by a network operated or affiliated with Visa. For transactions processed through Visa, the exchange rate used to convert foreign currency transactions is a rate selected by Visa from a range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate Visa itself receives or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. The exchange rate used to convert the transaction may differ from the rate Visa receives and may differ from the rate applicable on the date the transaction occurred or was posted to your account.

12. COLLECTION COSTS. You agree to pay all costs of collecting the amount you owe under this Agreement, including court costs and reasonable attorney's fee, as permitted by applicable state law.

13. SECURITY INTEREST. If you give the Credit Union a specific pledge of shares by signing a separate pledge of shares, your pledged shares will secure your account. You may not withdraw amounts that have been specifically pledged to secure your account until the Credit Union agrees to release all or part of the pledged amount. In addition, your account is secured by all other shares you have in any individual or joint account with the Credit Union, except for shares in an Individual Retirement account or in any other account that would lose special tax treatment under state or federal law if given as security. These other shares may be withdrawn unless you are in default under this Agreement. You authorize the Credit Union to apply the balance in your individual or joint share accounts to pay any amounts due on your account if you should default. Collateral securing other loans you have with the Credit Union may also secure this loan, except that a dwelling will never be considered as security for this account, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other agreement.

14. DEFAULT. You will be in default if you fail to make any minimum payment or other required payment by the date that it is due. You will be in default if you: a) break any promise you make under this Agreement; b) exceed your credit limit; c) are a natural person, if you die; d) are an organization, you cease to exist; e) are an organization, you change your legal structure so that the person obligating the organization to this Agreement is no longer authorized to bind it to legal agreements; f) file for bankruptcy or become insolvent; g) make any false or misleading statements in any credit application or credit update; or h) if something happens that the Credit Union believes may substantially reduce your ability to repay what you owe. When you are in default, the Credit Union has the right to demand immediate payment of your full account balance without giving you notice. If immediate payment is demanded, you agree to continue paying finance charges, at the applicable interest rate, until what you owe has been paid, and any shares that were given as security for your account may be applied towards what you owe.

15. CHANGING OR TERMINATING YOUR ACCOUNT. The Credit Union may change the terms of this Agreement and any attached Addendum from time to time. Notice of any change will be given in accordance with applicable law. If permitted by law, the change will apply to your existing account balance as well as to future transactions.

Either you or the Credit Union may terminate this Agreement at any time, but termination by you or the Credit Union will not affect your obligation to pay the account balance plus any finance and other charges you owe under this Agreement. You are also responsible for all transactions made to your account after termination, unless the transactions were unauthorized.

The card or cards you receive remain the property of the Credit Union and you must recover and surrender to the Credit Union all cards upon request or upon termination of this Agreement whether by you or the Credit Union. The Credit Union has the right to require you to pay your full account balance at any time after your account is terminated, whether it is terminated by you or the Credit Union.

16. CHANGING OR TERMINATING AUTHORIZED USERS. Upon your request, we may issue additional cards for authorized users that you designate. You must notify us in writing of any termination of an authorized user's right to access your account. Your letter must include the name of the authorized user and your account number and/or any subaccount number issued to the authorized user along with the authorized user's card and any convenience or other access checks issued to the authorized user.

Unauthorized use does not include use of a card by an authorized user in an unauthorized manner.

18. CREDIT REVIEW AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION. You authorize the Credit Union to investigate your credit standing when opening or reviewing your account. You authorize the Credit Union to disclose information regarding your account to credit bureaus and creditors who inquire about your credit standing. If your account is eligible for emergency cash and/or emergency card replacement services, and you request such services, you agree that we may provide personal information about you and your account that is necessary to provide you with the requested service(s).

19. RETURNS AND ADJUSTMENTS. Merchants and others who honor your card may give credit for returns or adjustments, and they will do so by sending the Credit Union a credit slip which will be posted to your account. If your credits and payments exceed what you owe the Credit Union, the amount will be applied against future purchases and cash advances. If the credit balance amount is $1 or more, it will be refunded upon your written request or automatically after six (6) months.

20. ADDITIONAL BENEFITS/CARD ENHANCEMENTS. The Credit Union may from time to time offer additional services to your account, such as travel accident insurance or a liability waiver program, at no additional cost to you. You understand that the Credit Union is not obligated to offer such services and may withdraw or change them at any time.

21. EFFECT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement is the contract which applies to all transactions on your account even though the sales, cash advances, credit or other slips you sign or receive may contain different terms.
