PERSON TO WHOM THE CARD IS ISSUED FOR ANY DAMAGES
OCCASIONED BY THAT LOSS, THEFT, OR UNAUTHORIZED USE.

THIS SECTION      DOES NOT APPLY IF THE CARD IS ISSUED

CARDHOLDER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 83, §21B.

In subsection (a) of this section, reference
to an "authorized agent" of a person is
deleted as unnecessary since the act of a
person's agent would constitute, in any event,
the act of that person.

The only other changes are in style.

EXTENSION OF APPLIANCE SERVICE CONTRACT.
