Terms and Conditions
A Short term loan is designed as a short term cash solution,
and is not designed as a solution for longer term financial problems for which longer
term financing may be more appropriate. Credit counseling services are available
to consumers who are experiencing financial problems.
Additional fees may accrue if your loan is rolled over or renewed.
Agreement To Arbitrate All Disputes: You and We agree that any and all
claims, between You and Us, or any claims arising from or relating to this Loan,
or any other loan You previously or may later obtain from Us, regarding collection
of the Loan, or alleging fraud or misrepresentation, shall be resolved by binding
arbitration. Such arbitration shall be conducted under the rules and procedures
of the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”) in effect at the time the claim is filed,
as appropriate. This agreement to arbitrate all disputes shall apply no matter by
whom or against whom any claim is filed. Rules and forms of the NAF may be obtained
and all claims may be filed at any NAF office, on the World Wide Web at
www.arb-forum.com, by telephone at 800-474-2371, or by mail at “National
Arbitration Forum, P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis Minnesota 55405.” Your arbitration
fees may be waived by NAF or will be paid by Us in the event you cannot afford to
pay them. The cost of any participatory, documentary or telephone hearing, if one
is held at Your or Our request, will be paid for solely by Us as provided in the
NAF rules. If a participatory hearing is requested, it will take place at a location
near Your residence. This agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration
Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any party
in any court having jurisdiction. You will have the right to recover reasonable
attorneys’ fees if you prevail in the arbitration.
Notice: YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LITIGATE
DISPUTES THROUGH A COURT AND HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THE DISPUTES BUT HAVE AGREED
INSTEAD TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE
THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES YOU ARE GIVING UP
YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY TO RESOLVE OR TO HAVE A COURT RESOLVE ANY AND
ALL CLAIMS, DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES ALLEGED AGAINST US OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES.

and Us”, includes, but is not limited to, any claim by either You or Us against
the other (or the employees, officers, directors, agents or assigns of the other).
As used in the paragraph above, “claims arising from or relating to this Loan, or
any other loan You previously or may later obtain from Us”, includes, but is not
limited to, claims arising from or relating to Your application for this Loan, this
Loan Agreement, this agreement to arbitrate all disputes, and Your agreement not
to bring, join, or participate in class actions.

To the extent permitted by law, by signing below You agree that You will not bring,
