4. How rise will serve you.

4.1. The "Buy with rise" Service

4.1.1. Description: "Buy with rise" is a closed-end instalment loan product with standard terms of 3, 6, or 12 months (other terms may be available at select merchants) offered by rise through rise’s technology platform. Loan term options may vary based on purchase price and merchant. "Buy with rise" allows you to buy goods or services offered by merchants ("Merchants") for personal use. If you agree to use "Buy with rise," rise will pay the Merchant on your behalf in exchange for your promise to repay the same amount plus a finance charge as determined by your creditworthiness.

4.1.2. Your Promise to Pay: Before completing any transaction on your behalf through any rise Services, rise will secure your promise to pay by disclosing the terms and conditions applicable to that transaction and securing your consent to those terms for that transaction, including your promise to pay the Total Payments amount to rise or its assigns, by asking you to click the button to confirm your loan.

4.1.3. rise does not charge you any interest for using these services: "Buy with rise" rates range from 10% to 30% fixed Annual Percentage Rate ("APR"), depending on your creditworthiness (0% APR is offered at select merchants). "Buy with rise" loans are simple interest loans, which means that interest accrues daily on the unpaid principal balance, up to the amount of the finance charge, until you pay the loan in full. If, however, you pay your loan off early, the Prepayment Refund terms below may apply.

4.1.4. Finance Charge: The "Buy with rise" service is subject to a finance charge based on the applicable interest rate determined by your creditworthiness. rise will always disclose the specific finance charge before you agree to any loan.

4.1.5. First Payment: Your first payment will be due no sooner than 15 days after rise pays a merchant on your behalf pursuant to the "Buy with rise" service.

4.1.6. Late Payment Fee: You will never be charged any late fees for using "Buy with rise."

4.1.7. Payment Allocation: Payments that you make will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest then to the unpaid principal balance. For loans that are delinquent, your payment will be applied first to past due amounts, then to your current monthly payment. For loans that are charged off, your payment will be applied first to the unpaid principal balance, then to accrued unpaid interest.

4.1.8. Partial Prepayments: Payments more than your currently scheduled payment will be applied to your unpaid principal balance and will not be used toward your next scheduled payment. Thus, your monthly scheduled payment amounts will remain the same except for your final payment.

4.1.9. No Prepayment Penalty: You may prepay your loan in full at any time without penalty.

4.1.10. Prepayment Refund: You are entitled to a refund of any amounts you pay more than the remaining principal balance and accrued interest as of the date of prepayment. We, however, may set off any amounts you are entitled to against any amounts you owe on any other "Buy with rise" loan or owe us otherwise. In lieu of a prepayment refund, you may satisfy your repayment obligation under the "Buy with rise" service on any date prior to the date of the final payment by paying rise an amount equal to the unpaid balance, less the required rebate as of the date of such a payment.

4.1.11. Delays in Processing: In some cases when you attempt to use "Buy with rise" to make a purchase, the transaction may be held as pending or be otherwise delayed for processing and confirmation by either rise or the merchant and can be cancelled at any time until it is confirmed by rise.
