After that, balance transfers will be charged at the same variable rate as
for purchases. APR 14.6% on cash advances and APR
14.0% on purchases and other amounts charged to the Account. No
annual fee. Unless otherwise indicated, all rates are variable. Monthly

standard terms and conditions...
Please note that the interest rate(s), credit charges and APRs which will

between us unless and until an agreement form containing these items and other
information required by law has been signed both by you and on our behalf.
Notice: Important Financial and Related Details
This notice and the terms and conditions below form the agreement between you
and us relating to your account. Words and expressions defined in the terms
and conditions have the same meaning where used in this notice.
1. We will send you a regular statement showing your payments to us and all
amounts we have charged to your account since the last statement. We will
normally do this monthly, unless you owe nothing and there have been no
purchases, cash advances or balance transfers during that period on your
account. Interest will be charged, where applicable, even if we are unable for
any reason to send a statement to you.
2. We will set and notify you of the credit limit for your account. We may
change your credit limit at any time and will always tell you when we do.
3. Your account statements will show the smallest amount you must pay and the
date by which you must make this payment. Unless we tell you otherwise, the
smallest amount you must pay will be £5 or 2% of the total amount you owe (as
shown on the statement), whichever is the greater. If you owe less than £5,
you must pay the whole amount.
4. In working out APRs shown, we have not taken into account any changes in
our interest rate(s), fees or charges which may occur. We may change these and
introduce an annual fee or other account fee at any time so long as we give
you written notice.
5. We charge interest until repaid on all cash advances and balance transfers
from the date of the cash advance or balance transfer and on purchases (or
transactions) and all other amounts charged to your account from the date they
are charged until paid off in full. Any interest will be added to your account
on each statement date. We work out interest on a daily basis, so you pay less
interest the earlier you pay off what you owe.
6. We charge a handling fee on cash advances of 1.5% or £1.50, whichever is
the greater. If we issue convenience cheques, we may introduce a handling fee
for them at any time as long as we give you written notice.
7. We will not charge interest on purchases (or transactions) shown on a
statement if you pay off the total amount you owe (as shown on the statement)
by the date shown and you paid the total amount you owed on the previous
statement by the date shown on that statement. (The payment date shown will be
20 days after the date of the statement itself). However, we will always
charge you interest on cash advances and all other amounts charged to your
account.
8. We will charge you the following interest and charges. We will charge each
balance transfer made during the first six months after you open your account
at the fixed introductory rate for six months after the transfer has been made
and at the rate for purchases and other amounts after that. All rates are
variable unless otherwise stated.

cardholder signs his or her Card as soon as it is received. You must always
ensure that you and all additional cardholders keep each Card and any
convenience cheques safe and:
- do not allow someone else to use any Card,
convenience cheque, PIN, password or other security information and do not
keep a Card and PIN together;
- memorise your PIN, destroy the notice of it as
soon as you receive it and always keep the PIN, password and other
security information secret - never write them down or record them;
- do not enter your account number over the internet
unless it is encrypted using the secure session features included in the
Netscape or Microsoft browser or by using other software providing at
least the same level of security. If you fail to comply with these
requirements, you may be treated as having acted with gross negligence.
5.2 We may record or monitor telephone calls to help
protect our customers and staff and to help maintain service quality.
6. Lost or Stolen Cards
6.1 It is essential you telephone us as soon as you can if you
suspect or find out that a Card or convenience cheque is lost or stolen or
might otherwise be misused or if someone else knows your PIN, password or
other security information. Our telephone lines are open 24 hours a day.
0800 064 0114 (if phoning from the UK) and
+44 1268 567 437 (if phoning from abroad).
You will need to give us your account number when you call. If we ask
you to do so, you must write to us within 7 days (quoting your account number)
at Accucard Customer Services, Department AK, Christopher Martin Road,
Basildon, SS14 9BG, to confirm your call. We will send you and any
additional cardholder a replacement Card as soon as possible after receiving
your call.
6.2 Unless you have acted fraudulently or consented to or permitted its misuse,
you will not be liable for the misuse of a card, convenience cheque or PIN if:
(a) someone else uses your Card, convenience cheque or PIN before or after you
tell us that it might be misused or that someone else knows the PIN, password
or other security information; or
(b) someone else uses your Card details and your Card has not been lost or
stolen.
6.3 We may give the appropriate authorities any information we consider
relevant about the loss, theft or misuse of a Card, convenience cheque,
account number or PIN, without asking you or any additional cardholder. If you
find or recover any Card or convenience cheque after you have told us it is
lost, stolen or might be misused, then you must cut it in half (Cards across
the magnetic strip) and, if we ask you to do so, return it to us. You must not
use a Card or convenience cheque you find or recover after you have told us it
is lost or stolen or it might be misused.

7. Change of details
You must tell us immediately if your name, postal address or e-mail address (or
the name of any additional cardholder) changes or if you change the Bank or
Building Society you use to make payments to us by direct debit.
8. If you break the agreement
8.1 You must immediately pay any amount over the credit limit on your
account.
8.2 We may charge your account for any loss we suffer or any costs we have to
pay as a result of you or an additional cardholder breaking the agreement. You
must also pay the following account fees:
£20 each time you do not make the minimum payment by the date shown on the
statement;
£15 each time your account balance is over the credit limit on a statement
date;
£15 each time a direct debit, cheque or other item is not paid when called on
or presented for payment;
£5 for each replacement statement you request; and
£5 each time you request a copy transaction record.
8.3 These fees and costs are in addition to any interest and other amounts you
must pay under the agreement. We may change them or introduce other fees at
any time by giving you written notice.
8.4 If you break the agreement (or you die or become bankrupt) and we ask you
to do so, you (or your personal representative(s) or trustee in bankruptcy)
must immediately pay everything owed to us under the agreement, including all
amounts not yet charged to your account e.g. transactions you have made which
have not yet been charged to your account, subject to the service of any
default or other notice required by law.
9. Ending the agreement
9.1 You or we may end the agreement at any time by giving written
notice to the other. You must still pay us all amounts which you owe us,
including all amounts not yet charged to your account and your account will
not be closed until you have paid us all such amounts. When the agreement ends,
you must cut all Cards in half across the magnetic strip and destroy unused
convenience cheques and return them to us if we ask you to do so.
9.2 Unless there are exceptional circumstances, we will give you at least 7
days' written notice before ending the agreement, and we may restrict,
terminate or suspend the use of your account at any time without giving notice
if we believe it necessary for business or security reasons. Cards,
convenience cheques, account numbers and PINs must not be used after the
agreement has ended or while use of your account is suspended.

10. Changes to the agreement
We may change and add to the terms of the agreement if we decide to
do so by giving you at least 7 days' written notice. If we change any interest
rate or the way it is calculated, the new rate or method will apply to
everything you owe under the agreement from the date the change takes effect.
This applies to all amounts charged to your account before that date which are
still owed and whether or not you continue to use your account. You may always
close your account if you do not accept the change or addition.
11. Additional benefits and CashBack Rewards
11.1 We may offer you additional benefits or incentives (such as
CashBack Rewards) along with your account. If at any time we provide you with
CashBack Rewards, they will be credited to your account annually. CashBack
Rewards will be calculated on the basis of the total value of transactions (net
of refunds) up to a maximum net transactions value of £20,000 set out in your
statements for the previous 12 months and will be shown credited to your
account in the last statement of that 12 month period. Transactions will not
earn CashBack Rewards if made whilst your account is over your credit limit.
CashBack Rewards may not be paid for a 12 month period if during that time:
- any monthly payment due from you has not been made
on time;
- you have exceeded your credit limit more than
twice;
- special arrangements for payment have been made
with you following financial difficulties on your part ; or
- your account has been closed.
We may change or withdraw CashBack Rewards and any
other additional benefits or incentives at any time as long as we give you at
least 7 days' written notice.
11.2 You can ask us to change the credit limit on your account, any rate of
interest or CashBack Reward rate applied to your account or any annual fee (Card
parameters) at any time. If we decide to change your Card parameters we will
give you at least 7 days' written notice of the new Card parameters. You can
make as many requests as you like but if, following separate requests, we
change your Card parameters three times in the year following the opening of
your account (or any year after that), we may charge £10 for subsequent
changes we make to your Card parameters in the same year following subsequent
requests.
11.3 Cards may be available in different designs and we will on request send
you a new Card but we will charge you £10 for doing so. This charge does not
apply if we send you a new Card because you tell us a Card is lost or stolen
or may be misused. If we send you a new Card you must cut the Card that is
replaced in half across the magnetic strip and, if we ask you to do so, return
it to us.

12. Use and disclosure of personal information
12.1 You agree we may use any information we hold about you and your
account (your information) and disclose and give your information to other
members of our Group and our contractors (including Accucard) in the UK and

laws provided that we remain responsible for making sure your information is
held securely) for marketing purposes and for the purpose of running your
account (including setting your credit limit and the interest rate(s) and
other charges on your account) and helping us and them to make credit
decisions about you and others and for the purpose of carrying out statistical
analysis and market research.
12.2 You agree that we and Accucard may disclose and give your information:
- to fraud and credit reference agencies to help us,
Accucard and others to make credit decisions, to help prevent or detect
fraud or other crimes and to trace debtors;
- to insurers and their regulators for the purposes
of arranging and administering insurance relating to your account and
underwriting, claims handling and fraud prevention (which could include
passing details to other insurers) and to the administrators of relevant
payment systems;
- to any organisation providing services and
benefits relating to your account or which recommends our credit cards for
the purposes of its business and for marketing purposes; and
* to the regulators of our business and the business
of Accucard, if required by them.
12.3 You agree that we may also use and analyse your information (and provide
it to other members of our Group and to Accucard) to enable us (and them) to
form a view of you as an individual and your preferences to help us (and them)
to design and select goods and services to be offered by us (and them) and to
enable us (and them) to send to you by post marketing materials about goods
and services offered by us, members of our Group, Accucard and other
organisations which may be of interest to you.
12.4 We and Accucard may agree to sell or otherwise provide your contact
details as part of a marketing list to other organisations (including other
members of our Group) in any country so that they can let you know about goods
and services which may be of interest to you.
12.5 If you do not want us or Accucard to send you marketing materials or to
contact you by telephone, e-mail or other on-line or interactive media for the
purpose of direct marketing, if you do not wish other organisations to let you
know about goods and services (or either) which may be of interest to you or
you do not want to take part in any market research carried out by or for us
or Accucard, you can write to us at any time at Accucard Customer Services,
Department AK, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, SS14 9BG.
13. General
13.1 We will not be liable if any person refuses to accept or honour
any Card or convenience cheque or if any person or cash dispenser fails to
make a cash advance or if we fail to provide services due to computer systems
or ATM failure, industrial action or any events outside our reasonable
control.
13.2 We may at any time transfer our rights under the agreement to any company
or other organisation and, if we decide to do so, we may let such company or
other organisation have information about you or any additional cardholder. We
may also arrange for any person to carry out our rights or duties under the
agreement. You may not transfer any of your rights or duties under the
agreement.
13.3 We can delay enforcing our rights under the agreement without losing them.
We may also accept part payments (even if marked "payment in full"
or with other similar wording) without losing our right to claim full payment.
13.4 No term of the agreement shall be enforceable solely by virtue of the
Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person who is not a party
to the agreement.
13.5 The agreement is governed by English law.

IMPORTANT - YOU SHOULD READ THIS CAREFULLY
YOUR RIGHTS
The Consumer Credit Act 1974 covers this agreement and lays down certain
requirements for your protection which must be satisfied when the agreement is
made. If they are not, we cannot enforce the agreement against you without a
court order.
The Act also gives you a number of rights. You have a right to settle this
agreement at any time by giving notice in writing and paying off all amounts
payable under the agreement. If you have obtained unsatisfactory goods or
services under a transaction financed by this agreement, apart from any
purchased out of a cash loan, you may have a right to sue the supplier, us or
both. Similarly, if the contract is not fulfilled, perhaps because the
supplier has gone out of business, you may still be able to sue us.
If you would like to know more about the protection and remedies provided
under the Act, you should contact either your local Trading Standards
Department or your nearest Citizens' Advice Bureau.
LOSS OR MISUSE OF CARD
If the card is lost, stolen or misused by someone who obtained it
without your consent, you may be liable for up to £0 of any loss to us. If it
is misused with your permission you will probably be liable for ALL losses.
You will not be liable for losses to us which take place after you have told
us of the theft etc., provided you confirm any oral message in writing within
seven days.
