2. HOW YOU AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT:
You agree to the terms of this Agreement and you make the promises it contains by either applying for or accepting an Account or making a purchase using PayPal Credit after receipt of this Agreement.
3. TYPES OF PURCHASES AND TRANSACTIONS:
STANDARD PURCHASES | ||||
You can make a Standard Purchase using this Account by choosing the PayPal Credit Payment System when you make a purchase from a Merchant at a website, by telephone, or at another authorized location. We will extend credit to you, in the amount of the Cost of the Purchase, by paying the Merchant on your behalf. | ||||
CASH ADVANCES | ||||
You can make a Cash Advance using this Account by choosing to Send Money. We will extend credit to you, in the amount of the Cost of the Cash Advance, by authorizing PayPal, Inc. to transmit the Cost of the Cash Advance to the designated recipient via the Send Money feature.

If you pay the balance on a Deferred Interest Purchase in full by the Expiration Date, we will not charge any interest for that Purchase. We will calculate the interest for each Billing Cycle prior to the Expiration Date and disclose it on the billing statement as the Accrued Deferred Interest. If you do not pay the balance in full before the Expiration Date, (1) we may charge your Account, in the Billing Cycle in which the Expiration Date occurs, interest on that Promotional Purchase from the transaction posting date, and (2) any remaining balance will be treated as a Standard Purchase beginning on the Expiration Date. | ||||
PROMOTIONAL PURCHASES: EASY PAYMENTS | ||||
There are two types of Easy Payments Purchases:
|
4. YOUR CREDIT LINE AND OTHER AGREEMENTS:
Credit Line | At the time you open your Account and request your first extension of credit, we will evaluate your request for credit. If we extend you credit, we will disclose to you the total amount of your Credit Line, which will be no less than $250.00. The total balances of all types of transactions on the Account plus transactions which have been authorized but not yet posted to the Account (but not including unpaid fees) may not exceed the Credit Line. If you try to make a Purchase or Cash Advance that would cause your outstanding balance to be above your Credit Line, we may treat that as a request to increase the Credit Line. For example: If your Credit Line is $650.00, you have a $200.00 balance, and you try to make a Purchase or request a Cash Advance of $500.00, we may treat this as a request for an increase in the Credit Line. If we approve this transaction, your new Credit Line will be $700.00. We have the option to refuse a request for an increase, but we will notify you of the reasons for any refusal. We may allow you to complete a transaction in excess of your available credit without increasing your Credit Line under certain circ*mstances, such as if you have a previous "non-sufficient funds" payment on your Account.We may increase, decrease or change your Credit Line at any time. We will notify you if we do so. From time to time, we may review your Account to ensure that payments and transactions posting to your Account are valid and not fraudulent and that good funds are collected for payments. In doing so, we may temporarily limit your ability to utilize the total credit available to borrow until the Account review is completed and/or transactions and payments are confirmed to be valid and fully collected. |
We May Charge your Account for Purchases and Cash Advances | You authorize us to charge this Account for the Cost of any Purchase or Cash Advance you, or anyone to whom you have given permission to use this Account, make using PayPal Credit. You understand that the amount that we actually pay to the Merchant for any Purchase or that PayPal, Inc. pays to any recipient of a Cash Advance may be less than the Cost of the Purchase or Cash Advance, because: (i) the Merchant may agree that we or a third party may retain a portion of the Cost in order to participate in PayPal Credit, or (ii) PayPal, Inc. may charge you fees for facilitating a Send Money transaction, which may be equal to the total of: (1) a percentage of the Cash Advance extended in connection with the Send Money transaction, plus (2) a transaction fee. |
We May Charge your Account for Interest and Fees | You authorize us to charge this Account for interest, any fees, costs of collection, and other amounts that you agree to pay in this Agreement. |
5. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION:
Purchases | By making a Purchase, you authorize the Merchant to share your personal information (including email address) with us to verify your identity, make a credit decision, complete your transaction, service your Account, and/or for any other lawful purpose. |
Cash Advances | By requesting a Cash Advance, you authorize us to share your information with PayPal, Inc. to complete your Send Money transaction. You also authorize PayPal, Inc. to share your personal information (including email address) with us to verify your identity, make a credit decision, complete your Send Money transaction, service your Account, and/or for any other lawful purpose. |
6. YOUR PROMISES TO US:
Promise to Pay | You promise to repay to us all extensions of credit (including any and all Purchases and Cash Advances) you have authorized us to charge to this Account and any accrued interest, fees, collection costs, and other amounts that you agree to pay in this Agreement. We may presume you authorized any Purchase using this Account, if the Purchase is delivered in your name to your address, unless you return the Purchase to the Merchant within a reasonable time. |
Minimum Payment Due | You promise to pay at least the Minimum Payment Due on or before the Payment Due Date each Billing Cycle and in accordance with the reasonable requirements set forth on each billing statement. |
Personal Financial Information | You promise to give us personal financial information about you that we may reasonably request, from time to time. |
Collection Costs | You promise to pay all costs of collection if we take any action to collect this Account or take any action in a bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against you, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, if permitted by applicable law. |
Your Contact Information | You promise to promptly notify us if you change your name, mailing address, email address, or telephone number. In doing so, you agree that you will not give us false information or signatures, electronic or otherwise, at any time. |
Age and Residency | You promise that you are of legal age in the state where you reside and are a resident of the United States when you accept this Agreement and open the Account. |
Merchant Disputes | You promise that, if you are dissatisfied with goods or services you purchased from a Merchant, you will try in good faith to resolve the dispute and correct the problem directly with the Merchant. This shall in no way limit or reduce your rights in case of a billing error. |
Use of Account | You promise to use this Account only for personal, family, or household purposes. |
7. INTEREST RATE AND INTEREST CHARGES:
You agree to pay interest on the outstanding balance of this Account until paid in full, as applicable. Interest may be calculated differently depending on the type of transaction. Interest begins to accrue on the transaction posting date, except interest does not accrue on any portion of a Standard Purchase or Cash Advance that you repay during the Grace Period, if a Grace Period applies.
GRACE PERIOD | |||||||
Standard Purchases & Cash Advances | There is a Grace Period of at least 25 days on new Standard Purchases and Cash Advances. This means we will not charge interest on these transactions if you pay them in full by the Payment Due Date. For example, if:
| ||||||
Deferred Interest Purchases | Deferred Interest Purchases do not have a Grace Period. However, you can avoid paying interest on a Deferred Interest Purchase by paying the balance in full by the Expiration Date. If you do not pay the balance in full by the Expiration Date, you will be charged interest from the transaction posting date. | ||||||
Easy Payments | Easy Payments Purchases do not have a Grace Period. However, for Easy Payments + No Interest Purchases, you can avoid paying interest by paying the balance in full by the End Date. If you do not pay the balance in full by the End Date, any remaining balance will begin to accrue interest. Financed Easy Payments Purchases begin to accrue interest on the transaction posting date. | ||||||
HOW WE CALCULATE INTEREST | |||||||
We calculate interest for each Billing Cycle using the Average Daily Balance (including new Purchases and Cash Advances) method. A separate daily balance is calculated for each balance type. These balance types include, for example, Standard Purchases, Cash Advances, and different Promotional Purchases.
|
MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE | |
We charge a minimum of $2.00 of interest in any Billing Cycle in which you owe interest on Standard Purchases and/or Cash Advances. | |
RATE OF INTEREST | |
We calculate interest on Standard Purchases, Promotional Purchases (except Financed Easy Payments), and Cash Advances using the Daily Periodic Rate of 0.05477%. This corresponds to the APR of 19.99%. However, if we have disclosed a special promotional rate at the time we made the special offer, we will calculate interest on balances subject to that special offer using the applicable special promotional rate. |
8. FEES:
You agree to pay the following fees, as applicable.
Late Payment Fee | We will charge you a Late Fee for each Billing Cycle the Minimum Payment Due is not paid in full by its Payment Due Date. The Late Fee will be the amount of the missed payment, up to:
|
Return Check Fee | We will charge you a Return Check Fee of up to $25.00 if a payment on this Account is made with a check, including a draft, order, or other instrument, that is returned by a drawee for “not sufficient funds” or other reasons such as a closed account. The fee will not exceed the Minimum Payment Due immediately prior to the date on which the payment is returned. We will not charge the fee if we redeposit the check and it is paid. |
9. MINIMUM PAYMENTS DUE:
The Minimum Payment Due each Billing Cycle will be the sum of the payments due on your Account balances as calculated below plus any amounts past due from previous Billing Cycles.
Standard Purchases, Cash Advances, & No Interest If Paid In Full Purchases | The payment due for Standard Purchases, Cash Advances and No Interest if paid in full Purchases will be the greatest of:
|
No Payments + No Interest If Paid In Full Purchases | There is no payment due for a No Payments + No Interest if paid in full Purchase prior to its Expiration Date. |
Easy Payments Purchases | The payment due for each Easy Payments Purchase will be the Monthly Plan Payment. To determine the Monthly Plan Payment amount, we divide the Easy Payments Purchase amount by the number of months between the Purchase and the scheduled End Date. The Monthly Plan Payment due on the scheduled End Date (or sooner if you pay off the balance early) may be more or less than the others, because it will be adjusted as necessary to pay the amount you owe at that time. |
10. PAYMENT APPLICATION AND PREPAYMENT:
We will use each payment in the amount of the Minimum Payment Due or less, first to pay billed Monthly Plan Payments on any Easy Payments Purchases, then billed interest, then billed fees, then the principal balance, and then any other amounts due. However, if you have a balance on a Deferred Interest Purchase, during the two Billing Cycles immediately preceding its Expiration Date, we may use the payment, after the amount to pay billed Monthly Plan Payments on any Easy Payments Purchases to pay the balance on such Deferred Interest Purchase.
You may at any time pay, in whole or in part, the total unpaid balance without any additional charge for prepayment. If you pay more than the Minimum Payment Due in any Billing Cycle, you still must make the Minimum Payment Due the next Billing Cycle. We will use any amount in excess of the Minimum Payment Due to pay the balances with the highest interest rate, then the next highest interest rate, and so forth. However, during the two Billing Cycles immediately preceding the Expiration Date of any Deferred Interest Purchase, we may use payments first to pay the balance on such Deferred Interest Purchase(s). We may choose to apply prepayments to the Deferred Interest Purchase balances before other balances.
11. BILLING STATEMENTS AND CREDIT BALANCES:
Billing Statements | We will provide a billing statement for each Billing Cycle if and as required by applicable law. We need not provide a billing statement to you if we deem this Account uncollectible or if delinquency collection proceedings have been started. We may provide electronic billing statements only. You can elect to receive paper statements by calling 1-866-528-3733 or logging in to www.billmelater.com or www.paypal.com. |
Credit Balances | We will refund any credit balance in excess of $1.00 to you as required by law. You authorize us to make the refund electronically or using an electronic transfer, (i) if you made the payment which caused the credit balance electronically, or using an electronic transfer, or (ii) if you typically make payments on this Account electronically. If you maintain an account with PayPal, Inc., you authorize us to refund any credit balance directly to that account. |
Errors | You agree to notify us of any errors in the billing statement within 60 days from the date it is provided. You agree to examine each billing statement and to notify us, immediately, of any Purchases which were not made or authorized by you. |
12. EVENTS AND EFFECT OF DEFAULT:

|

We will send any Notice to you to the mailing address we have on file associated with your Account; it is your responsibility to keep your mailing address up to date. All information called for in the Notice must be provided, including a description of the nature and basis of the Claims the party is asserting and the relief sought. If you and we are unable to resolve the Claims described in the Notice within 30 days after the Notice is sent, you or we may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the website of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") at www.adr.org. |
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief | YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER PAYPAL CREDIT USERS. |
Arbitration Procedures | Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator or arbitrators instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, the arbitrator(s) can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to anvidual. indi The arbitrator(s) also must follow the terms of these Terms and Conditions as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator(s) to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the interpretation of the subsection above entitled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-individualized Relief," shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or we may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and us subject to the discretion of the arbitrator(s) to require an in-person hearing, if the circ*mstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or us, unless the arbitrator(s) requires otherwise. The arbitrator(s) will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator(s) shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different PayPal Credit users, but is/are bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same PayPal Credit user to the extent required by applicable law. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. |
Costs of Arbitration | Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by us should be submitted to the AAA in your Demand for Arbitration and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of accessing arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of accessing a court for purposes of pursuing litigation on an individual basis, we will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of accessing arbitration from being prohibitive. In the event the arbitrator determines the Claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse us for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by us on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules. |
Severability and Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate | With the exception of any of the provisions in the subsection of this Agreement to Arbitrate titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief," if a court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If a court decides that any of the provisions in the subsection of this Agreement to Arbitrate titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms and Conditions will continue to apply. Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms and Conditions to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than an amendment to any notice address or website link provided in the Agreement to Arbitrate) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any Claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against us prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or Claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate. We will notify you of amendments to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting the amended terms on www.billmelater.com and www.paypal.com at least 30 days before the effective date of the amendments and by providing mail notice. If you do not agree to these amended terms, you may close your Account within the 30 day period and you will not be bound by the amended terms. |
20. BILLING RIGHTS NOTICE:
The following notice is required by Federal law. In this notice, "credit card purchases" means Purchases and Cash Advances made with this Account.
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: PayPal Credit, P.O. Box 5018, Timonium, MD 21094.
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 or email 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 line.
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.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have 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 purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
- The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your Purchase was based on an advertisem*nt we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)
- You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify.
- You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at: PayPal Credit, P.O. Box 5018, Timonium, MD 21094.
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.
