Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure (Truth in Lending Act)

This section is intended to be compliant with the Truth in Lending Act and applicable regulations.  The type of credit extended under the terms and conditions of this agreement and the Sales Agreement, separately executed by the Member, is intended to be a Closed-End Credit agreement as that term is used in Regulation Z (found in 12 CFR 1026).  The Member is put on notice and agrees that all products purchased from SDM do not contain any added fees or interest charges to the cost of the goods sold.  The Member will not pay more than the price reflected at the time of checkout, unless the Member misses required payments under the terms of the Sales Agreement, which is separately executed.  Any fee for any unanticipated late payments will be specifically noted in the Sales Agreement and not considered as interest in accordance with federal law.  A Member Sales Agreement will reflect:

• ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (The cost of your credit as a yearly rate)
  0%
• FINANCE CHARGE (The dollar amount the credit will cost you as a yearly rate)
  0%
• AMOUNT FINANCED (The amount of credit provided to you on your behalf)
  This amount will be found in your (the Member’s) Sales Agreement
• TOTAL OF PAYMENTS (The amount you will have paid after repayment is complete)
  The total amount of your (the Member’s) purchase as reflected in the Sales Agreement.  In cases where the Member’s employer limits payroll deductions to whole dollar amounts, your total amount of payments may be slightly more than the amount shown.
• NUMBER OF PAYMENTS
  The number of payments you have selected, as found in your Sales Agreement (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10)
• AMOUNT OF PAYMENTS
  (The total dollar amount of your order) / (The number of payments you selected)
• FREQUENCY OF PAYMENTS
  Depending on whether you have a lump sum payment using a pre-authorized check, credit card; or payroll allotments through weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly withdrawals based on your pay-cycle, payments will commence on your next scheduled draw or pay date or shortly thereafter.
• OTHER PROVISIONS

There is no credit life or disability insurance offered as part of this transaction.  You are not giving a security interest in the goods being sold to you.  There is no prepayment penalty and, therefore, no credit returned to you in consideration of prepaying the amount owed under the Sales Agreement.

Indemnification

Each party to this agreement acknowledges that they have certain regulatory and contractual responsibilities.  The failure of one party to this agreement to follow any applicable law, regulation, obligation, or mandate will not be imputed to the other party to this agreement.  The party that fails to follow any applicable law, regulation, obligation, or mandate will indemnify and hold harmless the other party against any and all losses, obligations, costs, liabilities, damages, actions, suits, causes of action, claims, demands, settlements, judgments, or any other expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, to the extent arising out of or resulting from the indemnifying party’s negligence or wrongful acts.

Severability

If a court of competent jurisdiction or any arbitrator finds any provision of this agreement to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the parties will reform that provision to the extent necessary to enforce it and preserve the parties’ original intent, failing which, it will be severed from this agreement with the balance of the agreement continuing in full force and effect.

Scope of Agreement

Unless specifically agreed upon by the parties in writing, Member cannot assign, transfer, or subcontract any obligation under this agreement.
