to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens
a Card Account. What this means for you: When you open a Card Account, we will
ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will
allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other
identifying documents including photo identification.
Authorized Users -
You are responsible for all authorized transactions initiated and fees incurred
by use of your Card. If you permit another person to have access to your Card
or Card number, we will treat this as if you have authorized such use and you
will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by those persons. You are
wholly responsible for the use of each Card according to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

limit the amount or number of transactions you can make on your Card. Your Card cannot be redeemed for cash. You may not use your Card for any illegal
