Minimum Payment
- You can pay all of your Account balance at any time without penalty.
- Each billing period you must pay at least the Total Minimum Payment shown on your statement by the Payment Due Date shown on that Statement.
- The Total Minimum Payment is the total of the minimum payments for the Regular Revolving and promotional Credit Plans and may include some or all of any Past Due or Over Limit amounts. The Total Minimum Payment won’t be less than $5.00. If your Account balance is less than $5.00, you must pay the amount indicated on your Statement in full.
- The minimum payment for each Credit Plan is calculated as follows:
- The minimum payments for Regular Revolving Credit Plans, Waived Interest--Payment Required and Deferred Interest--Payment Required Credit Plans will be 3.5% of the New Balance shown on your Statement for that Credit Plan (rounded up to the nearest $1.00) plus any new late fee added to that Credit Plan.
- The minimum payment for the Waived Interest--Equal Payment and Deferred Interest--Equal Payment Credit Plans will be the amount of the purchase divided by the number of months between the date of the purchase and the promotional period end date rounded up to the nearest $1.00.
- The minimum payment for the Low APR--Equal Payment Credit Plan will be the amount of the purchase including the calculated interest charges that will be assessed from the date of purchase through the end of the promotional period divided by the number of months between the date of the purchase and the promotional period end date rounded up to the nearest $1.00.
- Subject to applicable law, we reserve the right to apply payments however we deem appropriate, which may result in balances subject to lower interest rates being paid prior to other balances. This may also result in higher interest charges.
- Excess payments received before a deferred interest promotion expires are applied to the deferred interest promotional balance first in the last two billing periods of the promotional period.
D. Interest, fees and charges
Interest charges
- Interest charges begin on a transaction, fee, or interest from the day added to the daily balance and continue until the balance is paid in full.
- There is a Grace Period on Regular Revolving Credit Plan purchases. This means we will not charge interest on such purchases if you pay in full each billing period.
- If you make a purchase under any Waived Interest Credit Plan, we won't charge interest on the purchase if you pay the total purchase amount before the end of the promotional period. If you don't pay the total purchase amount before the end of the promotional period, we'll add the remaining amount to your Regular Revolving balance. We'll also begin charging interest on the purchase from the first day after the promotional period ends.
- If you make a purchase under any Deferred Interest Promotional Credit Plan and don't pay the total purchase amount before the end of the promotional period, we'll add the remaining purchase amount and the amount of accrued interest to your Regular Revolving balance.
- If you make a purchase under a Low APR--Equal Payment Credit Plan, interest will be assessed from the date of purchase through the end of the promotional period.
How we calculate interest charges on your Account
We calculate interest separately for each Credit Plan associated with each Card, using the 'Daily Balance (including new transactions)' method to determine interest charges for each billing period. Our calculation method is as follows:
- We calculate a daily balance for each day in the current billing period. To do this, we start with the beginning balance on the Credit Plan each day (including unpaid interest charges and fees). We subtract any payments or credit adjustments applied to the Credit Plan (treating any net credit balance as a zero balance) and add new transactions and debit adjustments. For the Regular Revolving Credit Plan, we add purchases as of the transaction date, for all other Credit Plans, we add purchases as of the post date. Fees are a type of debit adjustment and are added to the Regular Revolving Credit Plan.
- This gives us the “Partial Daily Balance” for the day. We then multiply the Partial Daily Balance for the day by the Daily Periodic Rate. This gives us the 'Daily Interest Charge' for the day, which we add to the day’s Partial Daily Balance. We’ve now determined the 'Daily Balance,' which will be the beginning balance for the following day. This results in daily compounding of interest charges.
- For the Regular Revolving Credit plan, we also calculate a daily balance for any 'Late Posting Purchases” that occurred in the prior billing period. A Late Posting Purchase is a purchase with a transaction date before the start of the current billing period and a posting date within the current billing period. To calculate a Late Posting Purchase balance, we start with the beginning balance attributable solely to Late Posting Purchases and interest (which will be zero on the transaction date associated with the first Late Posting purchase) and add any Late Posting Purchases with a transaction date of that day. This gives us the “Partial Daily Balance” for the day. We then multiply the Partial Daily Balance for the day by the Daily Periodic Rate. This gives us the 'Daily Interest Charge' for the day, which we add to the day’s Partial Daily Balance. We’ve now determined the 'Daily Balance,' which will be the beginning balance for the following day. This results in daily compounding of interest charges. We do this each day until the first day of the current billing period.
- At the end of the billing period, we add together each Credit Plan’s Daily Interest Charge. (For the Regular Revolving Credit Plan, this means we add all the Daily Interest Charges for Late Posting Purchases and for the current billing period.) This gives us the total interest charge for the Credit Plan for the billing period.
Variable rates (if applicable)
- To calculate a variable rate, for each billing period, we use an Index. The Index is the U.S. Prime Rate published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the calendar month preceding the month in which the billing period begins. (Our business days are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.)
- Any variable APR will increase on the first day of the billing period after the Index increases.
- An increase or decrease in the APR will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of interest and may increase the Total Minimum Payment.
Other fees and charges
You agree to pay the following fees and charges:
- Late Fee: If you don’t pay at least the Total Minimum Payment by the Payment Due Date, we will charge you a late fee of $38.00.
- This fee will not exceed the amount permitted by applicable law.
- Returned Payment Fee: We may charge you a $38.00 fee for each payment that your bank doesn’t honor for any reason.
- This fee will not exceed the amount permitted by applicable law.
- Although we may decide to do so, we aren’t required to attempt to collect a payment more than once.
- Over the Credit Limit Fee: We may charge you a $38.00 fee if your balance exceeds the Credit Limit. We add the fee if your Account balance exceeds your Credit Limit at any time during the billing period. We add this fee even if transactions we authorize or interest, fees, and other charges you incur are a reason the Account balance exceeds your Credit Limit. We add this fee even if the Account balance falls below your Credit Limit by the end of the billing period.
- Document Fees: Your Account has a Monthly Printed Statement Fee of $4.00 per mailed Statement. This fee will apply to any statement mailed on the Account, including any mailed to Authorized Buyers. To avoid paying this Monthly Printed Statement fee you must enroll in Commercial Account Center with your Corporate Account Number and six-digit Business Verification code at commercial.comenity.com/FloorandDecorProCard and update your statement delivery preference to E-Statements.
If, upon request, we provide you with any reprinted Statements (whether you are receiving electronic or printed statements), a copy of any sales draft or similar document (except in connection with billing error inquiries or resolution), we may charge the Account the following fee or fees, subject to any limitations of applicable law:- Statement Reprint Fee - $10.00
- Sales/Credit Draft copy - $6.00
- Check/Money Order copy - $6.00
- Alternative Payment Method Fee: We may offer alternative payment methods that allow you to make individual, expedited payments to your Account over the phone. If you choose to use this payment method, we may assess the current fee we charge for this service, subject to any limitations of applicable law. Currently, that fee is up to $15.00 but may change. We’ll let you know the current fee before you authorize any payment or payments, and you can withdraw your request if you don’t want to pay the fee.
- Expedited Card Fee: If you request that a new or replacement Card be sent to you or to an authorized user on an expedited basis, we will charge your Account a fee of $38.

C. Arbitration provision
READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT REJECT IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH PARAGRAPH C.1 BELOW, IT WILL BE PART OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON THE WAY YOU OR WE WILL RESOLVE ANY CLAIM YOU OR WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.
- Right to Reject: If you don’t want this Arbitration Provision (and any prior arbitration agreement between you and us ('Prior Arbitration Agreement')) to apply, you may reject it by mailing us a written rejection notice which gives the name of the Business and any Guarantor on the Account and contains a statement that you (both of you, if more than one) reject the Arbitration Provision of this Agreement. The rejection notice must be sent to us at Comenity Capital Bank, PO Box 182507, Columbus, Ohio 43218-2507. A rejection notice is only effective if it is signed by you (all of you, if more than one) and if we receive it within 30 calendar days after the date we first provide you with a credit card agreement or written notice providing you a right to reject this Arbitration Provision. Your rejection of this Arbitration Provision will not affect any other provision of this Agreement or your ability to obtain credit.
- Parties: Solely as used in this Arbitration Provision (and not elsewhere in this Agreement), the terms 'we,' 'us' and 'our' mean (a) Comenity Capital Bank, any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank and the employees, officers and directors of such companies (the 'Bank Parties'); and (b) any other person or company that provides any services in connection with this Agreement if you assert a Claim against such other person or company at the same time you assert a Claim against any Bank Party.
- Covered Claims: 'Claim' means any claim, dispute or controversy between you and us that in any way arises from or relates to this Agreement, the Account, the issuance of any Card, any rewards program, and/or any prior agreement or account. 'Claim' includes disputes arising from actions or omissions prior to the date any Card was issued to you or any Cardholder, including the advertising related to, application for or approval of the Account. 'Claim' has the broadest possible meaning, and includes initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims. It includes disputes based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law and equity (including any claim for injunctive or declaratory relief). 'Claim' does not include disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the prohibition against class proceedings, private attorney general proceedings and/or multiple party proceedings described in Paragraph C.7 ('Class Action Waiver'), Paragraph C.13 and/or this sentence); all such disputes are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. However, any dispute or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide.
- Starting an Arbitration: Arbitration may be elected by any party with respect to any Claim, even if that party has already initiated a lawsuit with respect to a different Claim. Arbitration is started by giving a written demand for arbitration to the other party. We will not demand to arbitrate an individual Claim that you bring against us in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, if any. But if that Claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, we then have the right to demand arbitration.
- Choosing the Administrator: 'Administrator' means the American Arbitration Association ('AAA'), 120 Broadway, 21st Floor, New York, New York 10271, www.adr.org; JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, New York 10018, www.jamsadr.com; or any other company selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If both AAA and JAMS cannot or will not serve and the parties are unable to select an Administrator by mutual consent, the Administrator will be selected by a court. The arbitrator will be appointed by the Administrator in accordance with the rules of the Administrator. However, the arbitrator must be a retired or former judge or a lawyer with at least 10 years of experience. You get to select the Administrator if you give us written notice of your selection with your notice that you are electing to arbitrate any Claim or within 20 days after we give you notice that we are electing to arbitrate any Claim (or, if you dispute our right to require arbitration of the Claim, within 20 days after that dispute is finally resolved). If you do not select the Administrator on time, we may do it. Notwithstanding any language in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, no arbitration may be administered, without the consent of all parties to the arbitration, by any Administrator that has in place a formal or informal policy that is inconsistent with the Class Action Waiver.
- Court and Jury Trials Prohibited; Other Limitations on Legal Rights: IF YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY DECIDE THE CLAIM. ALSO, YOUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM US IS MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION THAN IN A LAWSUIT. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
- Prohibition Against Certain Proceedings (Class Action Waiver): IF YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM: (1) NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION IN COURT OR IN CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR CLASS MEMBER; (2) NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION; (3) CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST YOU MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST ANY OTHER PERSON; AND (4) THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO POWER OR AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT A CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION OR MULTIPLE-PARTY ARBITRATION.
- Location and Costs: Any arbitration hearing that you attend must take place at a location reasonably convenient to you. We will pay any and all fees of the Administrator and/or the arbitrator if applicable law requires us to, if you prevail in the arbitration or if we must bear such fees in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. If you demand an arbitration, we will pay your reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees if you prevail or if we must bear such fees in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. Also, we will bear any fees if applicable law requires us to.
- Governing Law: This Arbitration Provision involves interstate commerce and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 ('FAA'), and not by any state arbitration law. The arbitrator must apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator may award any remedy provided by the substantive law that would apply if the action were pending in court (including, without limitation, punitive damages, which shall be governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts). At the timely request of either party, the arbitrator must provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the award.
- Discovery: In addition to the parties’ rights to obtain discovery pursuant to the arbitration rules of the Administrator, either party may submit a written request to the arbitrator to expand the scope of discovery normally allowable under the arbitration rules of the Administrator. The arbitrator shall have discretion to grant or deny that request.
- Result and Appeals: Judgment upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA and/or the rules of the Administrator. Any finding, award or judgment from an arbitration of any Claim shall apply only to that arbitration. No finding, award or judgment from any other arbitration shall impact the arbitration of any Claim.
- Interpretation: This Arbitration Provision shall survive the repayment of all amounts owed under this Agreement, the closing of the Account, any legal proceeding and any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Arbitration Provision and the applicable arbitration rules or the other provisions of this Agreement, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. This Arbitration Provision replaces any Prior Arbitration Agreement.
- Severability: If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force, subject to two exceptions. First, if a determination is made that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the Arbitration Provision shall be void in its entirety. Second, if a court determines that a public injunctive relief Claim may proceed notwithstanding the Class Action Waiver, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the public injunctive relief Claim will be decided by a court, any individual Claims will be arbitrated and the parties will ask the court to stay the public injunctive relief Claim until the other Claims have been finally concluded.
- Special Payment: If (1) you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with Paragraph B above on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party); (2) we refuse to provide you with the relief you request before an arbitrator is appointed; and (3) an arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to such relief (or greater relief), the arbitrator shall award you at least $5,100 (plus any fees and costs to which you are entitled).
