26. CREDIT TERMS FOR FROMBAGSTORICHES.COM. APR: 18.0% Balance Computation Method: Average Daily Balance, including new balances. Grace Period: N/A. Minimum Finance Charge: $1.00 Late Fee: $15.00 Set up Fee: $8.00 (one time fee) BagBorrow REVOLVING CREDIT ACCOUNT PLAN AGREEMENT Advertised Price Per Month: The advertised price per month is the estimated monthly payment required to be made for a single item order until that item is paid off. If you place a multiple item order or at any time your account has multiple items on it, then please see the Payment Chart on our website product pages for payment terms; the advertised price per month will not apply. The advertised price per month does include any applicable finance charges. Please see your Cardholder Agreement for full Terms and Conditions. How We Figure Finance Charges: To calculate the finance charge payable each month, we multiply the average daily balance times the monthly periodic rate. The Account is subject to a minimum finance charge of $ 1.00. Average Daily Balances: We figure the finance charge on your Account by applying the monthly periodic rate to the "average daily balance" of your Account, including current transactions. To get the "average daily balance" we take the beginning balance of your Account each day, add any new purchases, charges and other fees, such as late fees, and subtract any payments or credits we apply. Purchases subject to the Deferral Periods described below are excluded from our calculation of the "average daily balance" until the day following the expiration of the Deferral Period. 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.
