Terms & Conditions
The
below text has been increased from tiny 1em font to 12 font Arial, so it can be
easily read.
The 12 Terms and Conditions are displayed as immediately below - three clauses
at a time, so you can't read the entire T&Cs in their entirety, but only in
small sections - scum bags. The below font is 8.5 Helvetica in dark grey,
not black - scum bags. I have expanded the critical clause 2 below,
whereby if you have a Balance Transfer amount, there is no Interest Free Period.
So the metre is running at 20.74% interest rate on all Purchases, from the date
of each Purchase.
