(a) Bank is and will be the sole and exclusive owner of all Accounts and Account Documentation, except for any interest in Retailer-licensed marks and co-interest in sales slips and other evidence of charges, and will be entitled to receive all payments made by Cardholders on Accounts except when Retailer has exercised its right to purchase, or to arrange for the purchase of, the Accounts and the purchase transaction has been closed. Bank shall be identified as the creditor and owner of the Accounts for all purposes, and Retailer shall not represent or imply otherwise.
