5. GENERAL CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO ALL PROTECTED EVENTS. 5.1 General Activation Requirements. "You or a Responsible Party must notify us of the occurrence of a Protected Event in accordance with all applicable guidelines. Benefits are contingent upon (i) your active enrollment in Fortiva Credit Protection (including your satisfactory payment of the Fortiva Credit Protection Fee), (ii) the occurrence of a Protected Event, (iii) your compliance with applicable activation requirements and (iv) the expiration of any applicable waiting period for Benefit activation. 5.2 No Addendum Waiting Period. A Benefit may be activated for any Protected Event occurring after your Enrollment Date. 5.3 Benefit Activation. To request activation for a Protected Event, you must contact Fortiva Credit Protection and request a Benefit Activation Form. You may call the Fortiva Credit Protection Program toll free at 1-866-816-7025, Monday through Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Written requests for Benefit Activation Forms should be sent via U.S. mail to Fortiva Credit Protection, P.O. Box 105415, Atlanta, GA 30348-5415. Fortiva Credit Protection will send a Benefit Activation Form within 15 days of the request. You or a Responsible Party and any other required persons or officials must complete the Benefit Activation Form as required for the applicable Protected Event. We will not activate a Benefit until the Benefit Activation Form is completed by all required parties and returned to the Fortiva Credit Protection with the required documentation. If you or a Responsible Party fail to request the Benefit Activation Form,or fail to provide the Program Administrator with the required documents or required evidence of any Protected Event within {60} days of the Event Date, you will forfeit the right to any Benefit for that particular Protected Event. If you elect to terminate a Benefit early, you forfeit the right to any further Benefit for Protected Event. PLEASE NOTE. The timing of the application of a Cancellation Benefit or Minimum Payment Benefit to your Account will be based on your submission and our approval of the Benefit Activation Form. To avoid additional Finance Charges and Late Payment Fees on your Account, you or a Responsible Party must continue to make the scheduled Minimum Payments on your Account, until your request for a Protected Event is approved and a Benefit is activated. 6. GENERAL LIMITATIONS ON BENEFITS, MULTIPLE PROTECTED EVENTS AND MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES. 6.1 General Limitations and Monetary Limitations on Benefits. Your Account must have an outstanding balance to activate a Benefit under this Addendum. No amounts will be paid directly to you. There are specific monetary limits for Loss of Life listed in Section 6.2 below. 6.2 Limitations on Balance Cancellation Benefits. For Loss of Life, the only Benefit provided is a Balance Cancellation Benefit. 6.3 Limitations on Minimum Payment Benefit. The only Benefit provided for Involuntary Job Loss, Disability, or Hospitalization is a Minimum Payment Benefit. During the Minimum Payment Benefit Period, your responsibility to make a Minimum Payment on your Account is eliminated (excluding any past due or overlimit amounts) as a result of your activation of a Benefit for Involuntary Job Loss, Disability, or Hospitalization. We will not bill your Account for Fortiva Credit Protection Fees, and we will make any minimum payments due on your Account during the Minimum Payment Benefit Period. However, Finance Charges will continue to accrue during the Minimum Payment Benefit Period. Any scheduled Annual Fee provided for in your Agreement will be deferred until the Minimum Payment Benefit Period has ended. During a Minimum Payment Benefit Period, your ability to make Purchases, take Cash Advances, or have any transactions (including preauthorized debits) charged to your Account will be suspended.
If your Account is thirty (30) days or greater past due when a Benefit for Involuntary Job Loss, Disability, or Hospitalization is activated, you will not be eligible to activate a Benefit for any other Protected Event that provides a Minimum Payment Benefit during the same Enrollment Year, if your Account is past due at the time of the second request. For example, you enroll in Fortiva Credit Protection on October 1, 2017 and activate a Benefit for Hospitalization in November 2017 at a time when your Account is greater than thirty (30) days past due, you may not request Benefit Activation for Involuntary Job Loss, or Hospitalization until October 2, 2018, the start of a new Enrollment Year, or your Account status is brought current.
6.4 Multiple Protected Events and Multiple Occurrences. You may only activate and receive a Benefit for one Protected Event at a time under this Addendum, except in the event of Loss of Life. The occurrence of simultaneous Protected Events only entitles you to one Cancellation or Deferment Period. For Involuntary Job Loss, Disability and Hospitalization, at least 365 days must elapse between the end of one Deferment Period and the beginning of another for the same type of Protected Event. However, if you have already activated a Benefit for a Protected Event and Loss of Life occurs during the Minimum Payment Benefit Period, your Account will remain eligible to activate a Balance Cancellation Benefit for Loss of Life. 7. POSSIBLE TAX CONSEQUENCES. The Benefits provided under this Addendum may be taxable to you or your estate as income. This means that you may be required to pay federal and/or state income tax on the Benefits provided. We will NOT pay any income tax owed by you or your estate. You (or any Responsible Party) should consult your own tax advisor regarding the consequences of any Benefits received under this Addendum. 8. CHANGES TO THIS ADDENDUM. We may, at any time, change or remove any of the terms and conditions of, or add new terms or conditions to, this Addendum, including increasing the amount of the Fortiva Credit Protection Fee, by giving you written notice of the effective date of each change. You will have the option to cancel your Fortiva Credit Protection without penalty before each announced change goes into effect. 9. TERMINATION OF ADDENDUM. Either you or we may voluntarily cancel this Addendum at any time upon written notice to the other party. If you cancel Fortiva Credit Protection within sixty (60) days of your Enrollment Date, you may receive a credit to your Account for all Fortiva Credit Protection Fees paid during the first sixty (60) days. If you cancel after thirty (30) days, you will no longer be billed the Fortiva Credit Protection Fee, beginning on the first day of the Billing Cycle after you notify us of your decision to cancel at 1-866-816-7025 or via U.S. mail at: Fortiva Credit Protection, P.O. Box 105415, Atlanta, GA 30348-5415. We may cancel this Addendum on the earliest of the following dates (and thereafter no further Benefit will be provided): The date you default under the terms of your Agreement; The date after which two (2) consecutive minimum payments have not been paid when due; The date you move to a state where Fortiva Credit Protection is not available; or The date we elect to terminate the Program or, by advance notice, terminate further Benefits for your Account. 10. INCORPORATION OF TERMS; CONFLICTS. Except as expressly modified or replaced by this Addendum, the terms and conditions of your Agreement, including, but not limited to the portions entitled Consent to Receive Electronic Disclosures, Monitoring and Recording, Communication with You, Consent to Contact by Electronic and other Means, Information Sharing, Assignment, Transfer, Arbitration, Delay in Enforcement, Severability, Entire Agreement and Governing Law for Credit apply to this Addendum. In the event of any conflict between your Agreement and this Addendum, the specific terms of this Addendum shall prevail, but solely as they relate to the Benefits provided hereunder. (责任编辑:) |
