Recitals

 

WHEREAS, SCA is in the business of providing private label credit card programs to retailers and their customers (the "Program"), and in connection therewith lends to such customers to finance their purchases of goods, merchandise and services sold by such retailers; and

 

WHEREAS Merchant is in the business of selling goods, merchandise and services, and seeks to sell certain of such goods, merchandise and services on credit to its retail customers pursuant to the Program.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

Agreement

 

1.   The Program; SCA’s Obligations.

 

(a)   SCA will establish the Program for Merchant and provide the Program to Merchant’s retail customers in order to finance purchases of Merchant’s goods, merchandise and services by Program customers. In connection therewith, SCA shall lend to qualifying Program customers under a revolving line of credit agreement ("Credit Card Account"). Said qualifications will be established by SCA from time to time in its sole discretion. All Credit Card Accounts are revolving lines of credit, meaning that the customer is able to make payments and draw against the line of credit to make additional authorized purchases from Merchant from time to time while the Account is open and valid.

 

(b)   SCA shall provide to Merchant application materials in such amounts as are necessary to operate the Program. Applications shall be on forms and pursuant to guidelines approved by SCA in its sole discretion.

 

(c)   SCA shall produce and distribute to approved card applicants private label credit cards, the standard offering of which is a two-color process card; should the Merchant desire a more elaborate design (subject to approval by SCA in its sole discretion), SCA reserves the right to pass the cost differential on to the Merchant, but Merchant will be so advised prior to a production order being placed.

(e)   SCA shall take commercially reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to assure that all aspects of the Program, including, without limitation, application forms, change in terms notices, account agreements, billing statements and servicing and collection procedures, are in material compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, the federal Fair Credit Billing Act, the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and federal regulations concerning the privacy of customer information, and federal Guidelines for Safeguarding Customer Information.

 

(f)   SCA shall provide Merchant with reports reflecting number of new account and balance volumes, as well as any additional reports reasonably requested by Merchant, provided that such reports are permitted under applicable law including, without limitation, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and federal Regulation P. All such reports will be in a format reasonably acceptable to Merchant.

 

(g)   SCA shall pay all postage costs associated with the administration of the Program.

 

(h)   SCA will provide for the inclusion of statement inserts provided by the Merchant, provided that (i) SCA receives such inserts ten (10) business days before statement production, and (ii) SCA approves the content of such statements in its sole discretion.

2.   Processing Fee .

 

(a)   SCA agrees to advance funds to Program customers in accordance with the terms of their Credit Card Account agreements to finance the purchase of goods, merchandise and services from Merchant, provided such purchases are evidenced by sales slips ("Sales Slips") processed by Merchant in accordance with procedures established or to be established by SCA and provided to Merchant. For each such purchase, SCA shall fund to Merchant an amount equal to the face amount of the Sales Slip, minus a Processing Fee to be determined as follows:

 

(i)   one and three quarters percent (1.75%) of the purchase amount for "Standard" purchases (customers are permitted additional, authorized purchases to be charged on the Credit Card Account with minimum/fluctuating payment amounts due monthly based on the outstanding balance);

 

(ii)   one and ninety-five hundredths percent (1.95%) of the purchase amount for "Promotional Three Equal Payment" purchases (customers are required to pay three equal minimum monthly payments with retroactive finance charges assessed to date of purchase if the original purchase amount is not paid in full by the end of the promotional period);

(iii)   two percent (2.00%) of the purchase amount for "Promotional Four Equal Payment" purchases (customers are required to pay four equal minimum monthly payments with retroactive finance charges assessed to date of purchase if the original purchase amount is not paid in full by the end of the promotional period);

 

(iv)   three and one-half percent (3.50%) of the purchase amount for "Promotional Six Equal Payment" purchases (customers are required to pay six equal minimum monthly payments with retroactive finance charges assessed to date of purchase if the original purchase amount is not paid in full by the end of the promotional period);

 

(v)   five percent (5.00%) of the purchase amount for "Promotional Eight Equal Payment" purchases (customers are required to pay eight equal minimum monthly payments with retroactive finance charges assessed to date of purchase if the original purchase amount is not paid in full by the end of the promotional period);

 

(vi)   one percent (1.00%) of the purchase amount for "Promotional Three Equal Payment" purchases (customers are required to pay three equal minimum monthly payments and will pay finance charges at the rate of 15% APR on the unpaid balance each month, using the average daily balance method of finance charge calculation);

 

(vii)   one and one half percent (1.50%) of the purchase amount for "Promotional Four Equal Payment" purchases (customers are required to pay four equal minimum monthly payments and will pay finance charges at the rate of 15% APR on the unpaid balance each month, using the average daily balance method of finance charge calculation);

 

(viii)   one and eight-tenths percent (1.80%) of the purchase amount for "Promotional Six Equal Payment" purchases (customers are required to pay six equal minimum monthly payments and will pay finance charges at the rate of 15% APR on the unpaid balance each month, using the average daily balance method of finance charge calculation); and

 

(ix)   two and five-eighths percent (2.625%) of the purchase amount for "Promotional Eight Equal Payment" purchases (customers are required to pay eight equal minimum monthly payments and will pay finance charges at the rate of 15% APR on the unpaid balance each month, using the average daily balance method of finance charge calculation).

 

    (b)   SCA and Merchant shall agree in writing to any additions to the promotions listed in Section 2(a) above before any such other promotions are offered to customers. The choice of which promotion to offer to an individual customer will be at the option of Merchant, provided   however that SCA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make changes to any terms with reasonable notice to the Merchant and customers prior to any change taking effect.

Merchant further agrees, either as a result of a request made by SCA or a request directly made by the holder of a Credit Card Account, that Merchant will provide such information regarding prior sales as may be required in order to comply with the Fair Credit Billing Act, and that SCA may, at any time and its sole discretion, require that Merchant submit hard copies of all Sales Slips and other sales documents to SCA in addition to electronic transmission.

 

(d)   It is understood that this Agreement covers future advances and after acquired property with regard to the Credit Card Accounts, and SCA, as the Secured Party under this Agreement, has the right to make future advances which will be secured under this Agreement and any Uniform Commercial Code filings made in accordance with this Agreement.

Merchant further agrees that it will accurately record the type and required information from said acceptable and valid identification, and that it will not process an application where such identification appears to be fraudulent or has expired. Additionally, Merchant agrees to review and compare the photographs and signatures that appear on such acceptable and valid identification to ensure that they are similar in appearance to the applicant’s appearance and applicant’s signature on the application.
