TERMS: ALL CREDIT ORDERS ARE SUBJECT TO CREDIT APPROVAL.
Your ability to obtain a credit account ("Account") is conditioned on your meeting certain creditworthiness requirements that we have established for the Account. You authorize us to obtain a consumer report on you. We may not provide an Account to you, or we may limit the amount of credit initially available to you if you do not meet our creditworthiness requirements. An Account is not available if we cannot verify information about you or if you cannot enter into a binding contract. We may require a down payment before we provide you with an Account.
Overdraft Charges
There will be an overdraft charge added to your account for each check, order, or electronic payment instruction returned to us by your bank or otherwise not honored by your bank. The fee charged to you depends on the state in which you live and will not exceed the lesser of the minimum payment amount, the face amount of the check or other payment instrument, or the maximum fee allowed in your state. The Maximum fee will be $25 if you live in one of the following states: AK, AL, AR, AZ, CO, DC, FL, GA, HI, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, ME, MI, MN, MS, MT, ND, NH, NV, OH, OK, PR, RI, SC, SD, TN, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY. The fee is $20 if you live in one of these states: CT, IA, ID, NJ, NY, UT, VI. The fee is $15 if you live in one of the following states: CA, MO, TX.
Payments
Each month you must pay at least the Minimum Monthly Payment, plus any past due amounts, by the due date shown on your monthly statement, a payment will be considered "on-time" if we received it by 5 p.m. on the due date. Your Minimum Monthly Payment amount is calculated based on your Highest Net Purchase Balance (this is your purchases minus any returns) since your account was last paid in full. This Minimum Monthly Payment amount is calculated as shown in the box above and will not decrease until your Highest Net Purchase Balance goes down OR your account is paid in full. Payments in excess of the minimum will reduce your balance and FINANCE CHARGES, but will not prepay or be applied against future Minimum Monthly Payments.
Finance Charges
If the New Balance shown on your monthly statement is not paid in full within 25 days of the statement date, a FINANCE CHARGE will be added to your account calculated at the following rates: AL 21% up to $750, 18% over $750; AR 17%; OH, WV 24.99%, CO, GA, IN, MS, OK, TN, VT, WY 21%; FL, LA, MA, ME, MN, NC, VI 18%; GU, NE 21% up to $500, 18% over $500; PR 20.4%; TX 21.00%; All other states 35.99%. We figure the FINANCE CHARGE on your account by applying the applicable periodic rate to the "average daily balance" of your account including current transactions (MA, MN, MT and NM exclude these new purchases). To get the "average daily balance," we take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new purchases (except in MA, MN, MT, and NM where new purchases will be included as of the start of the next billing cycle), and subtract any payments or credits and unpaid FINANCE CHARGES, LATE FEES, and RETURNED CHECK CHARGES. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance".
Minimum Finance Charge of 50¢ per month, except for residents of AR, AK, CA, CT, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, KS, KY, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OH, RI, UT, VA, WA, and WI have a minimum of $1.00 per month; TX Residents at 75¢ per month; GU, MI, MO, NY, and TN residents at 70¢ per month. For residents of DC, HI, MD, NE, OR, or PR, there will be no minimum charge.
Late Fees
If you fail to make the Minimum Monthly Payment required on your statement by the due date, you will be subject to a late fee not to exceed the lesser of the minimum monthly payment or the amount that is allowable by law. At no time will the LATE FEE be higher than $15.00 per each late or missed payment on your account. Subject to the above, if you live in one of the following states your LATE FEE will be as follows: AR, FL, MT, NJ - $10 after 10 days; AK, CO, CT, DC, ID, MD, MI, MS, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SD, TN, VI, VT, WA, WI - $15 after 10 days; CA - $15 after 15 days; TX - $15 after 21 days; IN, GA - $20 after 10 days; AZ, KS, MO - $5 on balances of $25 or less, $10 on balances over $25 after 10 days; AL, IL, KY - the greater of $10 or 5% of installment after 10 days; HI - the lesser of $15 or 5% of installment after 10 days; IA, PR, UT - $15 after due date; LA - the greater of 5% or $10 not to exceed $15 after 10 days; MA - the lesser of $10 or 10% of minimum payment after 15 days; ME – the lesser of 5% of the unpaid balance or $10 after 15 days; MN - the greater of $7.80 or 5% of unpaid balance after 10 days; NC - $5 if unpaid balance is $100 or less, $10 if above after 30 days; NE - the greater of 5% of installment or $5 after 10 days; SC - the lesser of $15 or 5% of balance after 10 days; RI - $12 after 40 days; WV - the lesser of $15 or 5% of installment after 10 days; WY - the greater of $10.00 or 5% of unpaid installment after 10 days.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS - KEEP A COPY OF THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE
This notice tells you about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
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: Mason Easy-Pay®, 1251 1st Avenue, Chippewa Falls, WI 54729. You may also contact us here: https://www.masoneasypay.com/contact-us.
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 3 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:
- 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.
- 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.
