Basic Credit Card Question

Options
Hi, I'm thinking of applying for a credit card that promises:

0% on purchases for 13 months

Just a general point, but does this mean that I can purchase (up to the credit card limit) whatever I want and as long as I pay the full balance back within 13 months then I won't incur any interest or other charges? Thanks for any opinion.

P.S. I assume I'd still have to pay the 1% (or whatever it is) of the outstanding balance each month - the minimum monthly payment - or incur charges?
