any other payment method;

the Card, You shall not impose any restrictions or
conditions on the use of the Card that are not
imposed equally on the use of all other charge, credit,
debit or similar cards or services.
You shall not state or publish a preference for any
other charge, credit, debit or similar card or service
over the Card.

page of this Agreement. The Discount will be deducted
from your payments. Effective every April 1 st (begin-
ning after your first full calendar year of Card accep-
