We reserve the right to change the account terms (including APRs) at any time, in addition to APR increases that may occur for failure to comply with the terms of your account.  For example, we may change the terms if we do not receive any payment when due that is owed on your account, or if you make a payment to us that is not honored by your bank.  The APRs for this offer are not guaranteed; APRs may change to higher APRs, fixed APRs may change to variable APRs, or variable APRs may change to fixed APRs.  See Credit Agreement for full details.  A Credit Agreement along with the rates, fees, and terms of your account will be made available to you immediately upon approval of your credit application.

Finance Charges: Your Account will also be subject to the following Finance Charges, each of which will be billed to your Account: Periodic Finance Charges: Finance Charges are imposed whenever you obtain a cash advance, incur fees, or when a purchase is posted to your Account.  Finance Charges are imposed from the time a purchase, cash advance, or fee is posted, until it is paid in full.

Cash Advance Rate Information:  The Cash Advance fee varies by state, minimum 2% per month per month.  The actual rate, monthly payment amount, and terms of your account will be explained to you by a credit specialist prior to funding, and will not be applied without your express written consent.

Default APR Information: If you fail to make the minimum payment when due, or if your payment is returned by your bank or financial institution for any reason, or if your account goes into default for any other reason, your Annual Percentage Rate may be increased up to 9.9% above your current APR rate.  If we increase your APR for this reason, we may return you to a lower APR if you make at least the minimum payment on time for six consecutive billing periods and you are not in default in any other way.  If you have an introductory APR that has expired, we will not return you to that APR.

Other Reasons Your Terms Could Change: We reserve the right to change the terms of your account, including APRs and fees, at any time for other reasons, including changes to competitive or general economic conditions.  If we change your terms for reasons other than when you paid late or go into default as described above, we will notify you in writing.

How Your Credit History Could Affect Your APR: We do not engage in a practice known as “universal default.”  Universal default permits a credit company to increase your APR to the Default APR solely because you fail to make a payment on a loan with another lender or your credit history contains negative information. 

Computing Periodic Finance Charges: The Finance Charge is determined by multiplying the "Average Daily Balance" for purchases and cash advances outstanding during the monthly billing cycle by the daily "Periodic Rate." The daily "Periodic Rate" for purchases is .05528%, which is equivalent to an Annual Percentage Rate of 19.9%. The daily "Periodic Rate" for cash advances is determined by dividing the "Monthly Percentage Rate" by 30.  The term "Cash Advance" means any cash advance obtained through a Fidelity One Secured Credit Card or Revolving Line of Credit account or through any participating affiliated automatic teller machine ("ATM") or any financial institution or other establishment authorized to process or grant cash advances and also includes, for purposes of computation of finance charges, fees incurred on your account that are not paid in full, Convenience Checks, and all other cash-equivalent transactions including, but not limited to, Balance Transfers, electronic funds or wire transfer orders, and other transactions with cash-equivalent merchants. The "Average Daily Balance" is computed by taking the beginning balance of your Account on each day, calculated separately for purchases and cash advances, adding new purchases, fees, and/or cash advances and subtracting any payments or credits to get each day's daily balance. The daily balances are then added together and divided by the number of days in the billing cycle to get the "Average Daily Balance." The minimum Finance Charge is $1 for each billing cycle during which a Finance Charge based upon a periodic rate is imposed.

Account Set-Up Fee: We impose a one-time Account Set-Up Fee of $29 as a condition of extending credit to you.  The Account Set-Up Fee is a FINANCE CHARGE.

Cash Advance Fee: In addition to the monthly calculation of the cash advance FINANCE CHARGE, there is an additional Finance Charge of the greater of $5 or 3% of the amount of the cash advance for each cash advance obtained.

Annual Fee: We impose an Annual Fee as a condition of extending credit to you when your account is opened and annually thereafter on approximately the anniversary date of your account.  The amount of the annual fee is based upon the amount of your credit limit and is $30 for credit limits of $1 up to $999, $60 for credit limits of $1,000 up to $1,499, $90 for credit limits of $1,500 up to $1,999, $120 for credit limits of $2,000 up to $2,499, $150 for credit limits of $2,500 up to $2,999, and $180 for credit limits of $3,000 and over.  The Annual Fee is a FINANCE CHARGE.

Late Payment Fee: If we do not receive a payment from you in at least the amount of the Minimum Payment by the Payment Due Date shown on your Monthly Billing Statement, you will be charged a Late Payment Fee of $25.00.  We may also refer to this fee as the late fee or late charge.

Overlimit Fee: If at any time during a Billing Cycle your Account balance exceeds your Credit Limit, even if only for a day, you will be charged an Overlimit Fee of $29.00.  We will not charge more than one Overlimit Fee for any Billing Cycle.  However, we may charge an Overlimit Fee in subsequent Billing Cycles, even if no new transactions are made on your Account, if your Account balance remains over your Credit Limit at any time during such Billing cycle.  The charging of an Overlimit Fee shall not create any right on your part to exceed your Credit Limit or constitute a waiver by us of any rights upon your default.

Returned Payment Fee: If you make a payment on your Account and your check or other payment instrument (including an electronic funds transfer or a telephone authorized draft) is not honored for any reason or cannot be processed, we will charge a Returned Payment Fee of $39.00.

Credit Limit Increase Fee: Each time your request for a credit limit increase is approved, a Credit Limit Increase Fee of $29.00 will be charged to your account.  This fee is a Finance Charge.

Future Credit Limit Increases: You will be eligible for consideration of a credit limit increase after six months.  You may call us anytime after the initial six-month period to request an increase.  We may review your vehicle value and credit history to determine if we should increase your Credit Limit, or to set the level of increase, if any.

Express Delivery Fee: We impose a $25.00 fee for the express delivery of your Card(s) or documents sent Priority 2-day airmail.

Auto Draft Charge: We impose a $2.95 charge for each payment you make using our recurring auto draft payment (ACH) service.

Account Servicing Fee: We charge an Account Servicing Fee of 0.4% of the Principal Balance of your account as of the Billing Cycle Closing Date, billed to your account monthly for the maintenance and servicing of your account, minimum $3, maximum $10 charge.  There is no charge if you have a zero balance.

Lien Registration Fee: We will bill your account for the fee charged to us for recording a security interest in your vehicle.

Uninsured Auto Fee: In the event that you do not provide us with proof of full-coverage auto insurance, or your auto insurance is discontinued for any reason, you will be charged an Uninsured Auto Fee equal to 1.4% of the Principal Balance of your account, billed to your account monthly until proof of full-coverage insurance is provided to us.
