On all charges to my Borsheims Revolving Charge Account established under
this Borsheims Revolving Charge Agreement, I agree to the following:
1. I (Accountholder(s))* agree to pay for all merchandise and services
charged to my account by any authorized person in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. My liability is joint and several with any
accountholder who signed the application. The terms and conditions of the
Borsheims Credit Application signed by me are incorporated into this
Agreement.
2. OPTION TO PAY IN FULL EACH MONTH TO AVOID FINANCE CHARGE. I have the
right each month to pay the total balance on my account. If I do so by the
25th of the month following the statement date, no FINANCE CHARGE will be
added to the account for that month. The statement date will be shown on a
statement sent to me each month. The total balance on my statement date
will be called the CURRENT BALANCE on my monthly statement.
3. FINANCE CHARGE. If I do not pay the CURRENT BALANCE by the 25th day of
the month following the statement date, a FINANCE CHARGE will be added to
the account for the current monthly billing period. The FINANCE CHARGE
will be a periodic rate of 1.5% PER MONTH (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE OF 18%)
computed on the Average Daily Balance.
4. AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE METHOD (EXCLUDING CURRENT TRANSACTIONS).
Borsheims figures the FINANCE CHARGE on my account by applying the
periodic rate to the "average daily balance" of my account (excluding
current transactions). To get the"average daily balance", Borsheims will
take the beginning balance of my account each day and subtract any
payments. Credits in excess of the current period purchases will also be
subtracted. Borsheims does not add in any new purchases. This gives
Borsheims the daily balance. Then, Borsheims will add all the daily
balances from the billing cycle together and divide the total by the
number of days in the billing cycle. This gives Borsheims the "average
daily balance". The "average daily balance" will never be less than zero.
5. MINIMUM MONTHLY PAYMENT. If I do not pay the total balance in full each
month, I agree to make at least a minimum payment by the 25th of the month
following the statement date shown on my monthly statement. The required
minimum monthly payment is based on the balance as of the most recent
statement closing date on the account. It may increase when charges are
added to the account. The Minimum Monthly Payment will be 1/30th of the
highest account balance or $35.00, whichever is greater. I can always pay
more than the Minimum Monthly Payment.
6. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall be a default
hereunder:
(1) I fail to perform any of my obligations,
(2) my death or the death of any Co-Signer,
(3) institution of any proceeding in bankruptcy or
receivership or insolvency by or against me or any Co-Signer,
(4) issuance of execution process against any property of mine
or any Co-Signer,
(5) any warranty or statement by me that proves to be
materially incorrect,
(6) failure to insure the merchandise against loss as required
in the insurance provisions of paragraph 8 below. In the event of a
default, Borsheims shall have the right to
(a) declare all unpaid installments immediately
due;
(b) enter any premises and without breach of the
peace take possession of the goods; and
(c) exercise any and all of the rights on default
of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of Nebraska.
Borsheims may require me to assemble the goods and make them available to
Borsheims at a place to be designated by Borsheims which is
reasonably convenient to Borsheims and me. Any notice of sale,
disposition, or other intended action by Borsheims sent to me at the
address
specified above, or such other address of mine as may from time to time be
shown on Borsheims records, at least seven days prior to such action,
shall constitute reasonable notice to me. I will pay any deficiency that
may remain after the exercise of such rights and will be entitled to any
surplus.
All of Borsheims rights hereunder are cumulative, and no waiver of any
default shall affect any later default.
7. In the event of default of ten (10) days or more by me, Borsheims, as
required by law, may give me a notice of my right to cure such default
within twenty (20) days following the date of such notice. If I fail to
cure such default within such twenty-day (20) period, Borsheims, at its
option, may declare all unpaid installments immediately due and payable,
as well as exercise any other remedies available at law or equity. In the
event of any subsequent default, Borsheims may, without notice to me,
exercise any remedies available to Borsheims by the terms of this contract
or any other remedy available at law or equity.
8. DEFERRED CREDIT PLAN. Borsheims may choose to offer from time to time a
Deferred Credit Plan which may include: Waive Interest, Payment Required
(Finance Charges deferred); Waive Interest, Defer Payment (Finance Charges
and payment are deferred. Finance Charges then accrue from the first day
after the deferment period); Defer Interest and Payment (Finance Charges
and payment are deferred, Finance Charges then accrue from the date of
purchase); Defer Sale (Finance Charges, payments and billing are
deferred). The deferment period may be until a specific date or for a
certain number of days ("Deferment Period"). I can obtain more information
about the availability of the Credit Plans from Borsheims by contacting
you at the address stated in paragraph 19 herein.
9. SECURITY INTEREST IN GOODS. I hereby grant to Borsheims a purchase
money security interest under the UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE in all
merchandise charged to the account. If I do not make payments as agreed,
this security interest allows Borsheims to repossess only the merchandise
which has not been paid for in full. All merchandise purchased with the
account is for my personal, family or household use at the address given
by me on my Credit Application. I understand that I cannot sell
merchandise purchased from Borsheims to third parties until it is fully
paid for. I am responsible for any loss or damage to the merchandise until
the price is fully paid. I shall insure the goods, personal property, or
merchandise purchased in this revolving charge agreement against loss from
hazards, including, but not limited to, destruction, loss or theft. I
hereby assign to Borsheims all rights to receive the proceeds of such
insurance. In the event of a hazard loss, I direct any insurer to pay all
proceeds directly to Borsheims and authorize Borsheims to endorse any
draft for the proceeds. Borsheims agrees to pay to me that portion of the
insurance proceeds, which exceeds the unpaid balance due hereunder. Any
payments I make will first be used to pay any FINANCE CHARGE(S), and then
to pay for the other charges on the account.
10. LIMITED WARRANTY. Goods are purchased "as is" and there are no
warranties expressed or implied. All manufacturers' warranties, if any,
apply in accordance with their respective terms and conditions. I warrant
that any property offered in trade for the goods is free from any lien,
claim, encumbrance or security interest.
11. LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES. I agree that Borsheims shall not be liable for
consequential damages resulting from any breach of this Agreement. My
remedies for breach are limited to the return of the goods and refund of
the purchase price, or at Borsheims option, to the repair and/or
replacement of nonconforming goods or parts.
12. CHANGES OF TERMS CANCELLATION. Borsheims has the right to change any
terms or part of this Agreement by sending me a written notice as required
by law. My use of the revolving charge card after written notice of
changes were sent to me will constitute agreement to the revised terms.
Borsheims also has the right to cancel this Agreement as it relates to
future purchases.
13. CHANGE OF ADDRESS. I will notify Borsheims of any change in my
address.
14. AUTHORIZED BUYERS. This Agreement controls all charges made on the
account by me or any person I authorize to use the account.
15. CREDIT INVESTIGATION AND DISCLOSURE. Borsheims has the right to
investigate my credit, employment and income records, to verify my credit
references, to report the way I pay the account to credit bureaus and
other interested parties and to share information about me for business
purposes with other companies doing businesswith Borsheims.
16. GOODS NOT TO BECOME ACCESSIONS TO OTHER GOODS. It is my intention that
all goods purchased under this Agreement will not become accessions to
other goods.
17. OTHER CHARGES AND FEES. You may charge my account for returned check
fees as allowed by law. You may receive reasonable attorney fees if the
law allows you to recover them if I am in default.
18. CHARGES SUBJECT TO CREDIT APPROVAL. This Agreement and all charges on
the account are subject to the approval of Borsheims Credit Service
Department.
19. CREDIT BALANCE. I understand that no interest will be paid on
deposits, down payments, or credit balances which may exist on my account.
20. UNAUTHORIZED USE. I agree to promptly notify Borsheims upon discovery
if my charge card is lost or stolen. Federal law states that my liability
for unauthorized use of the charge card shall not exceed $50.00. I may be
liable for the unauthorized use of the Borsheims Revolving Charge card up
to that amount. However, I will not be liable for unauthorized use which
occurs after I notify Borsheims verbally at 402-391-0400 or 800-91-6242 or
in person to BORSHEIMS CREDIT SERVICES DEPARTMENT, 120 Regency Parkway,
Omaha, Nebraska 68114, of any loss, theft, or possible unauthorized use.
21. CONFIDENTIALITY. Borsheims does not sell or trade information about
accountholders with other Companies for marketing purposes. I understand the
information provided by me on my application will be held confidential by
Borsheims.
22. It is Borsheims intent to comply with all state and federal laws and
regulations which might affect this transaction. Consequently, if there is
a conflict between any of the terms and conditions of the Agreement and
applicable federal or state law, this Agreement will be considered changed
to the extent necessary to comply with the law.
23. This contract shall be construed under the laws of the State of
Nebraska. I agree that any action related to this contract may be
instituted and prosecuted in the courts of Omaha, Douglas County,
Nebraska, and I hereby waive the right to a change of venue.
