MONROE AND MAIN® CREDIT TERMS effective October 19, 2019
DEFINITIONS: Account - Your Monroe and Main credit account; the relationship between you and us established and governed by this Agreement. Agreement – These Monroe and Main Credit Terms and the accompanying table of rates and fees, as they may be amended in the future, including state specific terms that apply to your current or future state of residence. Balance – The amount due on your Account at any given time, including the principal balance, unpaid interest and all applicable fees. Us – “Us”, “we” and “our” refer to Monroe and Main and its agents, affiliates and/or service providers that are or may be engaged in the opening, maintenance, collection and/or reporting of your Account. User – Anyone with real or apparent authority to use your Account. You – “You”, “your” and “yours” refer to the person who opened the Account and any other person who may be legally responsible, in whole or in part, for payment of the Balance.
FINANCE CHARGES: A FINANCE CHARGE will be imposed for a monthly billing cycle if the New Balance shown on the previous monthly statement is not paid in full by the due date shown on the previous statement. 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 except in MA, MN, MT, and NM) but not less than the MINIMUM FINANCE CHARGE (if any). The ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE and the MINIMUM FINANCE CHARGE are shown below the accompanying table of rates and fees. The appropriate periodic rate is equal to one twelfth (1/12) of the applicable ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 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 charges, 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.”
PAYMENTS: Each month you must pay at least the full Minimum Payment Due on or before the due date shown on your monthly bill. You must pay your bill in a manner that meets all the following conditions: (i) you must pay in U.S. Dollars; (ii) you must not pay in cash; (iii) your payment must be drawn on a U.S. deposit account, or by a cashier’s check drawn on a U.S. bank or a foreign bank branch in the U.S.; and (iv) if you make payment in a paper form (like a check, money order, or cashier’s check), you must include the payment coupon from your bill. Mailed payments should be sent to the address on the payment stub of your bill. Your Minimum Payment Due is your Minimum Monthly Payment plus any past due amount.
MINIMUM MONTHLY PAYMENT: is determined based on the Highest New Balance (“HNB”) of your Account, in accordance with the table below or, if the HNB exceeds $3,330, then 3.34% of the HNB. The HNB is the highest principal balance of your Account since it was last paid in full. This means that your Minimum Monthly Payment will not decrease unless your Account is paid in full, but we reserve the right to recalculate the HNB, at our discretion, based on returned merchandise or Account adjustments.

MONTHLY PAYMENT CHART: The "Item Cost" column is the merchandise price for a single item. The monthly payment amount shown by the item description is based on the merchandise price plus shipping and processing charges and any applicable size/wt charges. The "Number of Monthly Payments" and "Total Of Payments You Will Make" columnns (below) are based on merchandise price plus shipping and processing charges and applicable size/wt charges. Those amounts are based on certain assumptions, including that the balance on your account consists only of the item purchased and does not include the effects of expedited shipping charges, taxes, or any other ancillary costs (if applicable). If other costs apply to your order, they will be added to your balance, and the number of monthly payments will be increased to cover those charges.

NOTE: Payments in excess of the Minimum Monthly Payment will not reduce the Minimum Monthly Payment required in the next or any future billing cycle.

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS – Keep This Document 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: Monroe and Main® Credit, 1112 7th Avenue, Monroe, WI 53566-1364.
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. 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: 1) 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. 2) 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 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 property or services. To use this right, you must not yet have fully paid for the purchase. If these criteria are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at: Monroe and Main® Credit, 1112 7th Avenue, Monroe, WI 53566-1364. 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.
NOTICE TO SERVICE MEMBERS: Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 36 percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: The costs associated with credit insurance premiums; fees for ancillary products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application fee charged (other than certain application fees for specified credit transactions or accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card account).
