SERVICES AND LOANS General Services include: * Bread’s technology interface (Bread API), which may be used to determine potential eligibility and submit an application for a loan (Loan) from Comenity Capital Bank (Bank); * The portal (Member Portal) by which you may access information and manage your account with Bread (Account); and * Other ancillary products and services that we may provide from time to time. Loans we make available (Bread Loan Program) may include: * A biweekly payment plan (Bread SplitPay) for purchases from an eligible merchant (Merchant) on third-party website, in a retail store, by phone, or by any other method we make available; * A monthly payment plan (Installments) for purchases from a Merchant on third-party website, in a retail store, by phone, or by any other method we make available; and * A debt consolidation loan (Bread Loan). CHANGES TO THESE TERMS OF USE We may change these Terms of Use (including adding or removing provisions) at any time in our sole discretion. We will post the revised Terms of Use on the Site and indicate the date the Terms of Use were last revised. You agree to review these Terms of Use periodically to ensure you are aware of any changes. By using the Services after the Terms of Use have been updated, you are agreeing to the new Terms of Use. ELIGIBILITY To be eligible for a Loan, you must be of legal age to enter into contracts in your state (generally 18) and be a legal resident of the United States, except as otherwise provided in any offer of credit. Loans may be used to finance a purchase or consolidate debt for your personal, family, or household use only, unless otherwise provided in any offer of credit. If you have been denied a Loan from the Bank using the Services during the preceding 90 days, you are ineligible to submit a new application under the Bread Loan Program. By using the Services or accessing this Site, you: * Represent that you are eligible to do so. If you misrepresent your eligibility to us you may be prohibited from using the Services in the future; * Certify that the information you have provided as part of any Loan application is true and correct; and * Authorize the Bank and Bread to verify the information you have provided and/or verify your identity, including contacting third parties to do so. In addition, if you apply for a Bread SplitPay Loan, you must have: * A valid, unexpired credit or debit payment card (Payment Card) associated with an account you are authorized to use; * Sufficient capacity on such Payment Card as determined by Bread; and * No more than the maximum allowed Bread SplitPay Loans permitted by Bread, which may vary from time to time. COLLECTING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU By accessing this Site or by using the Services, you authorize us or a third party acting on our behalf to collect and store information about you and the device you are using to access the Services. This includes information that we will collect, obtain and verify, on behalf of the Bank, pursuant to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act. Review the Bread Privacy Policy & Notices for more information. CREDIT REPORTS You authorize the Bank and Bread to obtain your credit report and other information from one or more consumer reporting agencies for the purposes of processing your Loan application, evaluating your Prequalification (as defined below) request, and/or at the Bank’s or Bread’s discretion from time to time thereafter in connection with the underwriting, servicing, and/or collection of any Loan the Bank extends to you. This written authorization permits the Bank and Bread to make “soft inquiries” for your credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies. Soft inquiries do not impact your credit score. The Bank and Bread may, at their sole discretion, report information about your Loan to consumer reporting agencies. Such information may appear on your credit report and may impact your credit score. California and Utah residents: As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit reporting agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. We may report information about your loan to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your loan may be reflected in your credit report. PREQUALIFICATION AND APPLICATION Prior to submitting a Loan application, you must request an initial determination of your eligibility and the terms that may be available to you (Prequalification). The Prequalification terms are not the final terms on which credit will be available and may change when the Loan Agreement is presented to you or thereafter. The Prequalification is not a guarantee that you will be approved for credit because the Prequalification is an estimate and may change based on a variety of factors. If you are initially eligible, you may submit a Loan application to the Bank. All Loans are subject to final approval and funding by the Bank. Any transaction may be held as pending, delayed for processing, or canceled at any time prior to the issuance of your Loan by the Bank. For Installments and Bread SplitPay, if the goods or services you are attempting to purchase cost more than the amount of the Loan that may be offered to you, or a Merchant wishes to collect some portion of the payment separately, you may be permitted to pay the remaining purchase amount directly to the Merchant through a third-party payment processor by credit or debit card. If a partial refund is later issued for your purchase, any partial refund will be applied first to the card used for the separate payment and then to the Loan. YOUR LOAN AGREEMENT WITH THE BANK Your Loan agreement with the Bank (Agreement) has important terms, which you should read. A copy of the Agreement will be provided to you before you complete your purchase or debt consolidation request so you can review and decide whether to accept the terms offered. There may be a delay in the issuance of Loan proceeds. For Installments and Bread SplitPay, Loan proceeds may be issued to the Merchant before they have fulfilled shipment of the goods to you and interest may start accruing on your Loan or payments may be due before you have received your goods or services from the Merchant. You should notify the Merchant if there are any unexpected delays or issues with your order. Please review the Merchant Disputes, Refunds, and Cancellations section on how to resolve disputes with a Merchant. Please review the Debt Consolidation Loans section for additional details about Bread Loans. After the Loan has been issued by the Bank, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access the Member Portal, where you can view your Agreement. DEBT CONSOLIDATION LOANS We may offer you the ability to apply for a Bread Loan to pay the outstanding balance on one or more credit cards issued in your name by eligible U.S. banks. All Bread Loan proceeds will be paid to your credit card issuers and you will not receive any proceeds directly. We are unable to consolidate balances from Comenity Bank or Comenity Capital Bank, creditors who are unable to accept payment electronically and require a paper check, or non-U.S. creditor accounts. Bread Loans may not be used to consolidate other types of loans, including post-secondary education expenses, real estate, mortgages, securities, vehicle financing, or any other purpose prohibited by law, these Terms of Use, any requirements or limitations we disclosed at the time of offer, or the terms of your Agreement. Additional limitations may apply, including the number of credit card accounts that you may designated for one Bread Loan or the minimum and maximum Bread Loan amount that you may apply for. Your Bread Loan may result in a higher annual percentage rate (APR) or higher monthly payment than you would otherwise pay through your current creditor. Please review your agreement with your credit card issuers for more information about rates, fees, and other charges to decide what is best for your needs. We rely on the accuracy of the credit card information that you provide to us and are not required (but reserve the right) to verify information before sending any Bread Loan proceeds. You are responsible for making all required payments on your credit card accounts until your transfers are complete. In addition, the amount you designated to be paid to a particular credit card issuer may not fully pay off your balance at the time that credit card issuer receives the proceeds and posts them to your account. We reserve the right to cancel or reject any Bread Loan payment to any or all credit card issuers. In addition, if we cannot process a Bread Loan payment to a credit card issuer, for whatever reason, within 10 business days from executing your Agreement, we may cancel that payment. In certain cases, your credit card issuer may not be able to post a Bread Loan payment to your account (for example, if the credit card information you provided is incorrect or your credit card issuer rejects the payment). We will reduce the total amount of your Bread Loan by the cancelled or failed amount and you will not owe any interest on the cancelled or failed payment. We will not be liable for: * Your failure to make your required payments on your credit cards; * Any loss or injury you may incur for any delayed, canceled, or failed Bread Loan payment; or * Any credit card balance that may remain after your Bread Loan proceeds are posted to your credit card account. You agree to help us resolve any disputes with other creditors. Third Party Loan Recipients (Merchants, Credit Card Issuers) You acknowledge that Bread is not responsible for: * Any defect or warranty associated with any goods or services provided by Merchants; * Your use of a Merchant’s goods or services; or * The content of or your use of Merchant websites, which are governed by the Merchants’ own terms of use and privacy policies. You agree that you will not hold Bread liable under any theory of products liability, personal injury, or breach of warranty for your purchase or debt consolidation. MERCHANT DISPUTES, REFUNDS, AND CANCELLATIONS Any disputes pertaining to the product or service, the amount you were charged, delivery, or any other aspect of your retail transaction with a Merchant must be first directed to the Merchant. If you are unable to resolve an issue regarding your purchase with the Merchant you may contact us to submit a dispute on your behalf. Please review the FAQ How do I dispute a purchase on my Bread account on the Site for more information. If the Merchant processes a refund, we will make adjustments to your Loan as provided in your Agreement. If the refund is for the entire borrowed amount, you may still owe finance charges depending on when the Merchant notifies us of the refund. If a refund is processed by the Merchant before the Loan is issued, your Loan will be issued in the reduced amount or your Loan will be canceled in its entirety if the reduced amount is equal to the full amount of the Loan. You will still be responsible for any outstanding balance on your Loan. You may also owe other amounts (such as interest, late fees, or non-sufficient funds fees) that accrued prior to issuance of the refund and were not paid. Review your Agreement for further details. For Bread Loans, you are solely responsible for identifying the amount to be paid to your credit card issuers. If the amount results in an overpayment to your credit card account, we will not issue a refund or cancel your Loan (in whole or in part) and your repayment obligation under your Agreement will remain unchanged. Once your Bread Loan proceeds have been posted by your credit card issuers to your accounts, any disputes regarding overpayments must be directed to the credit card issuers. REPAYMENT You may log into the Member Portal at member-portal.breadpayments.com/login or call (844) 992-7323 to make a payment via electronic fund transfer from your bank account or debit card for Installments and Bread Loans or debit or credit card for Bread SplitPay Loans. For Bread SplitPay Loans, you must consent to enroll in AutoPay prior to or at the time of checkout and authorize Bread to authorize recurring charges to your Payment Card on each due date. You can unenroll in AutoPay or change your registered Payment Card at any time by logging into the Member Portal or calling (844) 992-7323. If you attempt to complete a purchase using a Bread SplitPay Loan, you agree that we may authorize a debit or charge to your Payment Card equal to up to half the amount of your purchase. Any unpaid portion of that authorization that is canceled or refunded to you may take several days to be reflected on your Payment Card account. We are unable to control when that amount will be credited back to you. We are not responsible for the release of any holds. Please contact your card issuing bank. Denial, Suspension or Termination At any time, we or the Bank may without notice: * Discontinue providing the Services or any part thereof; * Deny or suspend your use of the Services; * Prevent your access to the Site or to the Services; * Remove and discard any content within the Services; * Suspend or terminate your Account or any part thereof; * Cancel, deactivate, or delete your Account and delete all information and files in your Account; and * Refer suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity to appropriate law enforcement authorities.

ARBITRATION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER If you are a covered borrower under the Military Lending Act, 10 U.S.C. § 987, the Arbitration and Jury Trial Waiver section does not apply to you. Key provisions: Please read the following important provisions carefully. Pay special attention to Paragraphs: * A (Jury trial waiver); * C.5 (Court and Jury Trials Prohibited; Other Limitations on Legal Rights); and * C.6 (Prohibition Against Certain Proceedings (Class Action Waiver)). A. Jury trial waiver To the extent permitted by law, you and we waive any right to trial by jury in the event of a lawsuit arising out of or related to these Terms of Use. This jury trial waiver shall not affect the Arbitration Provision below (including the jury trial waiver contained therein). You and we each represent that this waiver is given knowingly, willingly and voluntarily. B. Notice and cure Prior to bringing a lawsuit or initiating an arbitration that asserts a claim arising out of or related to these Terms of Use (as further defined below, “Claim”), the party asserting the Claim (“Claimant”) shall give the other party (“Defendant”) written notice of the Claim (“Claim Notice”) and a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Claim. Any Claim Notice to you shall be sent to the address we have in our records (or any updated address you subsequently provide to us). Any Claim Notice to us shall be sent by mail to C/O Bread Compliance, P.O. Box 11499, Tampa, FL 33680 (or any updated address we subsequently provide). Any Claim Notice you send must provide your name, address, and Loan number (if applicable) and explain the nature of the Claim and relief demanded. You may only submit a Claim Notice on your own behalf and not on behalf of any other party. No third party, other than a lawyer you have personally retained, may submit a Claim Notice on your behalf. The Claimant must reasonably cooperate in providing any information about the Claim that the Defendant reasonably requests. C. Arbitration provision Read this provision carefully. 1. Parties: Solely as used in this Arbitration Provision (and not elsewhere in these Terms of Use), the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” mean (a) Lon Operations LLC (d/b/a/ Bread) and its successors and/or assigns, as well as any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of theirs and their employees, officers, and directors (the “Bread Parties”); and (b) any other person or company that provides any services in connection with these Terms of Use if you assert a Claim against such other person or company at the same time you assert a Claim against any Bread Party. 2. Covered Claims: “Claim” means any claim, dispute, or controversy between you and us that in any way arises from or relates to these Terms of Use, any other documents referenced in these Terms of Use, the Loan, and/or any prior agreement or Loan. “Claim” includes disputes arising from actions or omissions prior to the date of the Loan, including the advertising related to, application for or approval of the Loan. “Claim” has the broadest possible meaning and includes initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, and third-party claims. It includes disputes based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud, and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law, and equity (including any claim for injunctive or declaratory relief). “Claim” does not include disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage, or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the prohibition against class proceedings, private attorney general proceedings, and/or multiple party proceedings described in Paragraph C.6 (Prohibition Against Certain Proceedings (Class Action Waiver)), Paragraph C.12 (Severability), and/or this sentence); all such disputes are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. However, any dispute or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of these Terms of Use as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide. 3. Starting an Arbitration: Arbitration may be elected by any party with respect to any Claim, even if that party has already initiated a lawsuit with respect to a different Claim. Arbitration is started by giving a written demand for arbitration to the other party. We will not demand to arbitrate an individual Claim that you bring against us in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, if any. But if that Claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, we then have the right to demand arbitration. 4. Choosing the Administrator: “Administrator” means the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), 120 Broadway, 21st Floor, New York, NY 10271, www.adr.org; JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com; or any other company selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If both AAA and JAMS cannot or will not serve and the parties are unable to select an Administrator by mutual consent, the Administrator will be selected by a court. The arbitrator will be appointed by the Administrator in accordance with the rules of the Administrator. However, the arbitrator must be a retired or former judge or a lawyer with at least 10 years of experience. You get to select the Administrator if you give us written notice of your selection with your notice that you are electing to arbitrate any Claim or within 20 days after we give you notice that we are electing to arbitrate any Claim (or, if you dispute our right to require arbitration of the Claim, within 20 days after that dispute is finally resolved). If you do not select the Administrator on time, we may do it. Notwithstanding any language in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, no arbitration may be administered, without the consent of all parties to the arbitration, by any Administrator that has in place a formal or informal policy that is inconsistent with the Class Action Waiver. 5. Court and Jury Trials Prohibited; Other Limitations on Legal Rights: If you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim, you will not have the right to pursue that Claim in court or have a jury decide the Claim. Also, your ability to obtain information from us is more limited in arbitration than in a lawsuit. Other rights that you would have if you went to court may also not be available in arbitration. 6. Prohibition Against Certain Proceedings (Class Action Waiver): If you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim: (1) neither you nor we may participate in a class action in court or in class-wide arbitration, either as a plaintiff, defendant, or class member; (2) neither you nor we may act as a private attorney general in court or in arbitration; (3) Claims brought by or against you may not be joined or consolidated with Claims brought by or against any other person; and (4) the arbitrator shall have no power or authority to conduct a class-wide arbitration, private attorney general arbitration, or multiple-party arbitration. 7. Location and Costs: Any arbitration hearing that you attend must take place at a location reasonably convenient to you. We will pay any and all fees of the Administrator and/or the arbitrator if applicable law requires us to, if you prevail in the arbitration or if we must bear such fees in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. If you demand an arbitration, we will pay your reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees if you prevail or if we must bear such fees in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. Also, we will bear any fees if applicable law requires us to. 8. Governing Law: This Arbitration Provision involves interstate commerce and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), and not by any state arbitration law. The arbitrator must apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator may award any remedy provided by the substantive law that would apply if the action were pending in court (including, without limitation, punitive damages, which shall be governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts). At the timely request of either party, the arbitrator must provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the award. 9. Discovery: In addition to the parties’ rights to obtain discovery pursuant to the arbitration rules of the Administrator, either party may submit a written request to the arbitrator to expand the scope of discovery normally allowable under the arbitration rules of the Administrator. The arbitrator shall have discretion to grant or deny that request. 10. Result and Appeals: Judgment upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA and/or the rules of the Administrator. Any finding, award, or judgment from an arbitration of any Claim shall apply only to that arbitration. No finding, award, or judgment from any other arbitration shall impact the arbitration of any Claim. 11. Interpretation: This Arbitration Provision shall survive the termination of these Terms of Use and any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Arbitration Provision and the applicable arbitration rules or the other provisions of these Terms of Use, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. This Arbitration Provision replaces any Prior Arbitration Agreement. 12. Severability: If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force, subject to two exceptions. First, if a determination is made that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the Arbitration Provision shall be void in its entirety. Second, if a court determines that a public injunctive relief Claim may proceed notwithstanding the Class Action Waiver, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the public injunctive relief Claim will be decided by a court, any individual Claims will be arbitrated and the parties will ask the court to stay the public injunctive relief Claim until the other Claims have been finally concluded. * MERCHANTS * Why Bread? * Products & Features * Platform & Integrations * Help Center * SHOPPERS * How it Works * Contact Support * Help Center * PARTNERS * Our Platform * SUPPORT * Privacy Policy * SplitPay Terms of Service * SMS Consent * Terms of Use * RESOURCES * Blog * Case Studies * Ebooks * Help Center * About Us * Careers Bread® is the buy now, pay later platform powering the future of ecommerce.
