A credit card's terms and conditions officially document the rules and guidelines of the agreement between a credit card issuer and a cardholder. Common terms and conditions include the fees, interest rate, and annual percentage rate carried by the credit card.
The properly executed credit application is a binding contract when there is agreement to terms and conditions. Remember, the process of obtaining the signed application is a negotiation. As such, including all provisions in the credit application that protect or benefit the credit grantor is the objective.
