Revised April 5, 2016

OVERVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

You agree that by creating an account with ECS (as defined below), or accessing or using our Services (as defined below), website(s) (such as this website, https://usa.experian.com, or any affiliated website (including, but not limited to, Experian.com, FreeCreditReport.com, FreeCreditScore.com, CreditReport.com, and CreditScore.com)), or mobile applications (such as the Experian app), as well as any content provided or accessible in connection with the website(s) or mobile application(s), including information, user interfaces, source code, reports, images, products, services, and data (each website and mobile application referred to herein as a "Website," and collectively, as "Websites"), you represent to ECS that you have read, understood, and expressly consent and agree to be bound by this Terms of Use Agreement, and the terms, conditions, and notices contained or referenced herein ("Agreement") whether you are a "Visitor" (which means that you simply browse or access a Website), or a "Customer" (which means that you have created an account with ECS, or enrolled or registered with a Website, or are accessing or using a Service).

At Customer's election, Customer may, from time to time, request to receive, and ECS may provide, free services or services subject to a fee, whether a recurring fee or a one-time transactional fee (each a "Service")), and Customer's receipt and use of such Services shall, at all times, be subject to this Agreement. The term "Service" includes, but is not limited to, the provision of any of our products and services, including credit report(s), credit risk score(s), credit monitoring, credit score monitoring and credit score tracking (including all the data and information contained therein), the receipt of any alerts notifying you of changes to the information contained in your credit report(s), regardless of the manner in which you receive the Services, whether by email or mail, through a website or mobile application, by telephone, or through any other mechanism by which a Service is delivered or provided to you. The term "you" or "User" refers to a Visitor or a Customer. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms "we," "us" or "ECS" refer to ConsumerInfo.com, Inc., an Experian® company (also known as Experian Consumer Services), and referred to as "Experian" on the Websites, its predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, and any of its third party service providers (including, without limitation, cloud service providers) who ECS uses in connection with the provision of the Services to you. If you are a Visitor and do not wish to be bound by this Agreement, you should immediately cease accessing and using the Websites. Notwithstanding the immediate preceding sentence, if you are a Visitor and continue to access and use a Website, by virtue of your continued access and/or use of the Website, you are indicating your acceptance of this Agreement and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions contained herein. If you wish to become a Customer and make use of the Services, you will be prompted during the registration process to agree, and must agree, to be bound by this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement expressly applies to: (a) your access to and use of the Websites; (b) any and all transactions between you and ECS through the Websites, including for the provision of any Services or of any credit, personal, financial or other information delivered as part of or in conjunction with free Services or paid Services, including any such information that may be archived to the extent made available on the Websites, such as (i) for your purchase of non-membership based Services such as the 3 Bureau Credit Report and FICO® Scores, the FICO Industry or other Base FICO Scores and/or an Experian Credit Report and FICO Score, (ii) enrollment and use of free Services (such as Experian Credit Basics™), and/or enrollment, purchase and use of membership based Services (such as Experian Credit Works? or Experian Credit Tracker?); and (iii) your access to and use of calculators, credit resources, text, pictures, graphics, logos, button items, icons, images, works of authorship and other information and all revisions, modifications, and enhancements thereto contained in the Websites.

You may not browse the Websites, or create an account or register with ECS, or use or enroll in any Services, and you may not accept this Agreement, if you are not of a legal age to form a binding contract with ECS. If you accept this Agreement, you represent that you have the capacity to be bound by it. Before you continue, you should print or save a local copy of this Agreement for your records.

THE SERVICES AND WEBSITES ARE SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN AND ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF, ORDER OF, USE OF, AND/OR ACCESS TO, THE SERVICES AND WEBSITES CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT TO ABIDE BY EACH OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THESE TERMS OR CONDITIONS, DO NOT USE, ACCESS OR ORDER ANY SERVICE OR ACCESS OR USE THE WEBSITES. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BEGUN ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES AND/OR WEBSITES AND DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, IMMEDIATELY CEASE USING THE SERVICE OR WEBSITE AND/OR DISCARD ANY INFORMATION OR PRODUCTS YOU RECEIVED VIA ANY SERVICE OR WEBSITE (TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE), AND CALL CUSTOMER CARE AT 1-866-617-1894 TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT WITH ECS. NOTE, YOU MAY ALSO BE ABLE TO DEACTIVATE YOUR PAID SERVICE AND RETAIN YOUR ACCOUNT WITH ECS ONLINE, AS AND TO THE EXTENT EXPLAINED IN FURTHER DETAIL BELOW.

PERMISSIBLE PURPOSE AND CONSENTS

You understand and agree that, by establishing an account with ECS, or submitting your order or enrolling for any Service (including an order for a Service that includes enrollment of your minor child in such Service), you have provided "written instructions" in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended ("FCRA"), for ECS to obtain your credit report and/or credit score(s) (or the credit report or credit score(s) of any minor children whom you have enrolled in a Service) on a recurring basis to provide them to you while you have an account with ECS, and such information may be obtained Experian Information Solutions, Inc. ("Experian Credit Bureau") or any other credit reporting company. You understand and agree that, pursuant to such authorization, ECS may access your credit profile (and those of any minor children whom you have enrolled in a Service), including without limitation, your credit report, credit score(s) and other related information, to, among other things, verify your identity (or those of any minor children whom you have enrolled) and to provide credit monitoring, credit scoring, credit score monitoring and tracking, identity monitoring, alerts for, among other things, dormant accounts, new accounts, inquiries, other changes to information contained in your credit report, fraud resolution, or card registry products. You understand and agree that ECS may, from time to time, provide additional products, services, features and/or functionality to you, and that they shall be offered pursuant to the same authorization that you provided to ECS for ECS to obtain your credit report and/or credit score(s) on a recurring basis to provide them to you to review while you have an account with ECS.

You further understand and agree that, by establishing an account with ECS, or submitting your order or enrolling for any Service, you have provided "written instructions" in accordance with the FCRA for ECS to obtain and use the information you have provide, and your credit report and/or credit score(s) to notify you of credit opportunities and other products and services that may be available to you through ECS or through unaffiliated third parties (as explained in the section below entitled "General Description of Services"). You understand and agree that ECS receives compensation for the marketing of credit opportunities or other products or services available through third parties, and that this compensation may impact how and where such credit opportunities, products or services appear on a Website (including, for example, the order in which they appear).

AMENDMENTS

This Agreement may be updated from time to time. You should check this Website regularly for updates to this Agreement. Each time you order, access or use any of the Services or Websites, you signify your acceptance and agreement, without limitation or qualification, to be bound by the then current Agreement. Modifications take effect as soon as they are posted to this Website (or any of the Websites, to the extent applicable to you), delivered to you, or reasonably made available to you in writing by ECS. However, no unilateral amendment will retroactively modify the parties' agreed-to dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement for then-pending disputes, unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing. In all other respects, any modification or update to the arbitration provision shall be governed by subsection (g) of the Agreement's "Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration" Section below.

MODIFICATION OF SERVICES OR WEBSITES

ECS may, at its discretion, modify or discontinue any of the Services or Websites, or any portion thereof, with or without notice. You agree that ECS will not be liable to you, your minor children or any third party for any modification or discontinuance of any of the Service or Websites.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The Services and Websites are meant to provide you a means to review your personal finance and/or credit information for educational purposes only, and to manage if and to the extent you so choose, and may notify you of credit opportunities and other products and services that may be available to you through ECS or through third parties (such as, among other things, advertisements or offers for available credit cards, loan options, financial products or services, or credit related products or services and other offers to Customers, the ability to track and collect certain consumer information specific to you, including but not limited to, credit score, loan and credit card monthly payment, total amount and interest rates). The Services and Websites are meant for your personal use only. The Services and Websites may also provide you other third-party product information, such as the availability of loans and other financial products or services, or credit related products or services (including credit repair or other credit education services). This includes receiving offers free of charge for various credit or other financial products or services based upon your self-identified credit attributes (and/or your consumer report or credit score). These offers may also be generic and may not contain offers based on information specific to you.

We will identify those Services that are provided to you free of charge. Some of the Services (including Experian Credit Tracker and Experian Credit Works) may require a fee at the time of Service purchase or enrollment, such as membership Services that require the payment of an ongoing fee for ECS's provision of such Services. By purchasing such Services and providing payment information, you represent that you are authorized to utilize the payment method presented and agree to pay the specified fee for paid Services, including any method offered or used through a mobile application. Furthermore, you agree and authorize us to, for time to time: (i) submit a transaction using the card information provided, (ii) in the case of automatic recurring transactions, submit a transaction on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly or annual basis) for membership renewals, (iii) if necessary, obtain updates from card issuers for cards provided to us, (iv) if necessary, bill you, in a prorated manner (as required), in accordance with the particular fee terms for the Service you are purchasing or enrolling in, including if you are transitioning between free or paid Services (or vice versa), when a recurring basis transaction is at issue, and (v) if necessary (and applicable) bill your mobile carrier or others via a mobile application if you authorize us to do so. You may cancel your subscription or enrollment for an ongoing paid Service at any time by calling Customer Care or by using any other method specified on the Websites.

For the sake of clarity, if at any time while you have an account with ECS, you decide to cancel your membership in a paid Service, you will be automatically enrolled in a free Service, as the cancellation of the paid Service will not cancel your account with ECS unless you so indicate. To de-activate your account in its entirety and no longer receive the free Service, you must de-activate your account by contacting Customer Care (or logging into your online account to deactivate your account, if available) and expressly de-activating your account to no longer receive such free Service. In all events, your account with ECS, (including your access to and use of any Services (whether free or paid) and Websites, and regardless of whether you upgrade or downgrade any Services while maintaining your account), shall be governed by this Agreement (and the terms and conditions contained herein).

You acknowledge and agree that ECS (including its Services and/or Websites) has not and does not provide you (or any minor child enrolled in a Service) legal, tax, financial, or other advice (including, without limitation, advice on how to improve or repair your credit or credit scores), and that its Services and/or Websites are not designed or intended to provide any such advice. As discussed above, and for your convenience, we may provide links to various other third party websites that may be of interest to you. The third party offers or links that may be displayed on a Website are from third party companies from which ECS may receive compensation. Compensation may impact how, where or whether a third party product, service or link appears on a Website. There may be other offers generally available to you (including those available in the marketplace) that are not available to you on our Websites. ECS does not make any guarantee or imply approval for any particular offer or opportunity made on our Websites. Further, ECS does not represent, warrant or guarantee any level of potential savings or other benefit should you choose to apply for a particular offer. Any suggestion or representation of possible savings are for illustrative purposes only and may vary based on your individual financial circumstances and the terms made available to you by the applicable issuer or lender. ECS disclaims all liability for any errors or omissions in any express or implied suggestions or representations related to possible savings made by ECS or its marketing partners. For complete information on any particular offer, see the terms and conditions on the issuer or lender's website. Once you click apply for any offers, you will be directed to the issuer or lender's website where you may review the terms and conditions of the applicable opportunity or offer before applying.

While ECS uses reasonable efforts to present the most accurate information, we show a summary to help you choose a third party service, not the full legal terms. ECS does not control or endorse such websites and is not responsible for their content, nor is it responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any information, data, opinions, offers, advice, or statements contained within such websites, nor can ECS guarantee your eligibility to take advantage of any of the information, data, opinions, offers, advice or statements contained within those websites. Please carefully read the terms and conditions or terms of use policies of any other third party company or website you may link to from our Websites. If you decide to access any of the third party sites linked to the Websites, you do so at your own risk. ECS reserves the right to terminate any link or linking program at any time. ECS disclaims all warranties, express and implied, as to the accuracy, validity, and legality or otherwise of any materials or information contained on such third party websites.

ACCOUNT WITH ECS; USE OF THE SERVICES

In consideration of your account with ECS, and/or your order of, access to, and/or use of any Service or Website, you agree to provide true, accurate, complete and current information about yourself and any minor children you are enrolling, or have enrolled, in any Service, when prompted to do so by the registration and application forms or requested to do so by ECS. If any information you provide is untrue, inaccurate or not current, or if ECS has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate or not current, ECS, at its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account, or order of, use of, and/or access to, any Service or Website, and refuse all current or future orders of, use of, and/or access to, any Service or Website, or suspend or terminate any portion thereof. You acknowledge and agree that ECS may, in its sole discretion, retain any information you provide to it or generated by ECS (or its affiliates/suppliers) while you have an account with ECS, including any information about you (or any minor child you are enrolling, when enrolling in any Service) and any credit card or payment or other information obtained in connection with your account and/or the provision of any Service. If ECS does retain any such information, you acknowledge it is not obligated to retain that information for any specified period of time.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

SUMMARY:

MOST CUSTOMER CONCERNS CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY AND TO THE CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTION BY CALLING ECS'S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AT 1-866-617-1894. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT ECS'S CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE A COMPLAINT YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING A SERVICE OR WEBSITE TO YOUR SATISFACTION (OR IF ECS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE IT HAS WITH YOU AFTER ATTEMPTING TO DO SO INFORMALLY), WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. ECS WILL PAY ALL COSTS OF ARBITRATION, NO MATTER WHO WINS, SO LONG AS YOUR CLAIM IS NOT FRIVOLOUS. HOWEVER, IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND ECS WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS´ FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY TO THE SAME EXTENT AS YOU WOULD BE IN COURT.

Arbitration Agreement:

(a) ECS and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us arising out of this Agreement directly related to the Services or Websites, except any disputes or claims which under governing law are not subject to arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and to make all disputes and claims between us directly relating to the provision of any Service and/or your use of any Website subject to arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, for the avoidance of doubt, any dispute you may have with us arising out of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) relating to the information contained in your consumer disclosure or report, including but not limited to claims for alleged inaccuracies, shall not be governed by this agreement to arbitrate. The agreement to arbitrate otherwise includes, but is not limited to:

claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us arising out of any Service or Website, whether based in contract, tort, statute (including, without limitation, the Credit Repair Organizations Act) fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to "ECS," "you," and "us" shall include our respective parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, websites of the foregoing, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of Services and/or Websites or information under this or prior Agreements between us relating to Services and/or Websites. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and ECS are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice''). The Notice to ECS should be addressed to: General Counsel, Experian, 475 Anton Boulevard, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 ("Notice Address''). The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief you seek from ECS ("Demand''). If ECS and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or ECS may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by ECS or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or ECS is entitled.

You may obtain more information about arbitration from www.adr.org.

(c) After ECS receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee. (The filing fee currently is $200 for claims under $10,000, but is subject to change by the arbitration provider. If you are unable to pay this fee, ECS will pay it directly upon receiving a written request at the Notice Address.) The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. If the AAA is unavailable or refuses to arbitrate the parties' dispute for any reason, the arbitration shall be administered and conducted by a widely-recognized arbitration organization that is mutually agreeable to the parties, but neither party shall unreasonably withhold their consent. If the parties cannot agree to a mutually agreeable arbitration organization, one shall be appointed pursuant to Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act. In all events, the AAA Rules shall govern the parties' dispute. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address.

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision as well as the Agreement´s other terms and conditions, and the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any such dispute relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or any other term of this Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this arbitration provision or Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Unless ECS and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Except as otherwise provided for herein, ECS will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse ECS for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.

(d) The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees and expenses at any time during the proceeding or in the final award, pursuant to applicable law and the AAA Rules.

(e) Discovery and/or the exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute will be governed by the AAA Rules.

(f) YOU AND ECS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and ECS agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If this specific subparagraph (f) is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if ECS makes any change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) during your membership in any Service, including credit monitoring, or subsequent to your purchase of any Service, you may reject any such change and require ECS to adhere to the language in this provision as written at the time of your enrollment or purchase if a dispute between us arises regarding such Service.

FCRA DISCLOSURES

The FCRA allows you to obtain a copy of all of the information in your consumer credit file disclosure from any consumer credit reporting company for a reasonable charge. The FCRA also states that individuals are entitled to receive a disclosure directly from the consumer credit reporting company free of charge under the following circumstances:

The FCRA also permits consumers to dispute inaccurate information in their credit report without charge. Accurate information cannot be changed. You do not have to purchase your credit report or other information from ECS to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in your Experian Credit Bureau file or to receive a copy of your Experian Credit Bureau consumer disclosure.

The credit report you are requesting from ECS is not intended to constitute the disclosure of Experian Credit Bureau information required by the FCRA or similar state laws. Experian Credit Bureau's National Consumer Assistance Center provides a proprietary consumer disclosure that is different from the consumer credit report provided by ECS. This disclosure report must be obtained directly from Experian Credit Bureau by going to www.experian.com/dispute, or by calling 888- EXPERIAN.

The FCRA allows consumers to get one free comprehensive disclosure of all of the information in their credit file from each of the three national credit reporting companies (Experian Credit Bureau, Equifax®, and TransUnion®) once every 12 months through a central source. Georgia residents can receive two disclosures per year. Although comprehensive, the credit reports from each of the three national credit reporting companies that are available from ECS may not have the same information as a credit report obtained directly from the three national credit reporting companies or through the central source. To request your free annual report under the FCRA, you must go to www.annualcreditreport.com, or call 877-322-8228. ECS's Services are not related to the free FCRA disclosure that you are or may be entitled to.

TERRITORIAL RESTRICTIONS

Unless otherwise specified, the Services made available through the Websites are intended for use by U.S. consumers only. We make no representations or warranties that the information, products or services provided through the Services or the Websites are appropriate for access or use in other jurisdictions.

Recognizing the global nature of the Internet, however, you agree to comply with all local laws including, without limitation, laws about the Internet, data, email, export, or privacy. Specifically, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the U.S. and the country in which you reside. Notwithstanding the above, we reserve the right to limit the availability of the Services or the provision of any Services to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND NOTICE OF PROSECUTION

Your access and use of the Services and Websites must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Unauthorized access and use of the Services and/or Websites is expressly prohibited. For online customers, access to and use of password protected and/or secure areas of the Websites are restricted to authorized users only. Unauthorized individuals attempting to access these areas of the Websites may be subject to prosecution.

Further, failure to comply with all applicable laws, including but not limited to the FCRA, can result in state or federal enforcement actions, as well as private lawsuits. In addition, any person who knowingly and willfully obtains a consumer credit report or disclosure under false pretenses may face criminal prosecution.

AUTHENTICATION

ECS will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Services to you in a timely manner, including instant online delivery of your credit report for online customers when available. For certain online Services, however, when the system is unable to authenticate you, you may be routed through an alternate authentication process, such as authentication through Customer Care or a manual authentication process. In the event ECS utilizes a manual authentication process, ECS will send a private access code via U.S. mail to the address in your credit file, which you can use to access your account online. This process is normally completed within five (5) to seven (7) days. In the event that you are routed through an authentication process, it is your responsibility to successfully complete authentication so that you can gain access to your account on the Website. Your account, including any membership or enrollment in a Service, will continue, including, if applicable, continuing to monitor your credit report(s) or score(s), all of which will be available to you once you complete authentication. Consequently, for any ongoing paid Services, you will continue to be billed for your membership and the associated services available to you until you cancel in accordance with this Agreement. Please note that, for most Services, ECS cannot offer a manual authentication process and will be unable to fulfill your order if you fail online authentication one or more times. In the event you fail online authentication one or more times, you may be directed to Customer Care to complete the authentication process over the telephone.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

ECS may use your personal information to the extent necessary to authenticate your identity, process your order or request for, and provide, the Services to you, as well as for quality assurance, account and business maintenance, and such other business uses in accordance with applicable law.

RECEIPT, REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE OF PRIVACY AND AD TARGETING POLICIES

By establishing an account with ECS, or submitting your order for or enrolling in any Service, you acknowledge receipt of our Privacy Policy and Ad Targeting Policy, acknowledge that you have reviewed these policies, and agree to be bound by their terms. These policies can be accessed here: Privacy Policy, Ad Targeting Policy. Your agreement to be bound by this Agreement includes your agreement to be bound by the Privacy Policy and Ad Targeting Policy, subject to the express terms contained in those policies. If you do not agree to the terms of either the Privacy Policy or Ad Targeting Policy, you should cease accessing and using the Services and Websites (including by cancelling your account with ECS). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, you agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy and Ad Targeting Policy upon submitting information to ECS to submit your order or enroll in any Service, even if you do not ultimately consummate your order or enrollment for a Service.

ONLINE AND/OR MOBILE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

You must have an email address and provide the same to ECS, and have a Java-compatible browser to receive and/or access your Services online via a mobile application, if applicable. As an online (or mobile application) customer, you are agreeing to receive all notifications via email at the email address on file with ECS. You are obligated to update the email address on file when your email address changes. In the event that ECS is unable to deliver email messages to you, you agree to accept Service notifications in an alternative method, such as direct mail or SMS messages. We strongly encourage you to select SMS messaging as an alternative method of receiving notifications and alerts. You may select this method by accessing your Customer homepage online and changing your Alert Settings. Please note, mobile messaging rates may apply. All service alerts are also accessible online in your Alerts Center of your account.

The Services may offer features and services that are available to you via a Website, such as a mobile applications or mobile website. Standard messaging, data and other fees may be charged by your carrier. By using the mobile features, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and further agree that we may bill your carrier (if applicable) for any Services you authorize. You may also purchase services via mobile applications of third parties. Any third party mobile application purchases shall be governed by the purchase terms and conditions of the third party from which you are purchasing services. You also agree that we may send communications to your mobile device and collect information from your device, as described in our Privacy Policy and/or Ad Targeting Policy.

In the event that you fail to or otherwise do not update your email address on file with ECS, and thus ECS is unable to deliver email messages to you, you nonetheless understand and agree that any paid Service will be fulfilled at the price agreed upon at the time that you placed your order or enrolled in the Service.

NO WARRANTY BY ECS

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND WEBSITES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. ALL SERVICES AND WEBSITES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" OR "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ECS (AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUPPLIERS) EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES (OTHER THAN THE GUARANTEES FOR EXPERIAN CREDIT WORKS, EXPERIAN CREDIT TRACKER AND CARDSAFE DESCRIBED WITHIN THIS AGREEMENT) OF ANY KIND WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NONINFRINGEMENT. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE SERVICES AND WEBSITES OR OTHER MATERIALS YOU MAY RECEIVE FROM ECS DO NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL, TAX, ACCOUNTING OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. OTHER THAN TO THE EXTENT MADE IN THE GUARANTEES FOR EXPERIAN CREDIT WORKS, EXPERIAN CREDIT TRACKER AND CARDSAFE DESCRIBED WITHIN THIS AGREEMENT, ECS (AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUPPLIERS) MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT (I) THE SERVICES ARE ACCURATE, TIMELY, SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; AND (II) ANY RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE RELIABLE.

ACTIVATION CODES

If you are using an activation code to obtain a Service, you are restricted to a one-time use of such activation code. Any subsequent, unauthorized use of the activation code will result in immediate termination of any associated Services without notice and in accordance with the termination provision(s) in the section entitled "Use of the Services," found herein.

Please note that if you improperly obtain a Service with an activation code (including via an activation code you obtained that was not intended for your use in the first instance), any credit card number you may have provided to us will also be charged with the fee for the Service that was obtained improperly.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

NOT A CREDIT REPAIR ORGANIZATION OR CONTRACT

ECS offers access to your credit report, FICO® Score, and other credit information. ECS is not a credit repair organization, and is not offering to sell, provide or perform any service to you for the express or implied purpose of either improving your credit record, credit history or credit rating or providing advice or assistance to you with regard to improving your credit record, credit history or credit rating. You acknowledge and agree that you are not seeking to purchase, use, or access any of the Service and Websites (or any content in the Websites) in order to do so.

Accurate adverse information on your credit report cannot be changed. If you believe that your credit report contains inaccurate, non-fraudulent information, it is your responsibility to contact the relevant credit reporting company, and follow the appropriate procedures for notifying the credit reporting company that you believe that your credit report contains an inaccuracy. Any information provided to you regarding the procedures followed by the various credit reporting companies related to the removal of inaccurate, non-fraudulent information is provided without charge to you and is available for free. Any such information is not included as part of your credit score monitoring product but is provided free of charge to all consumers, regardless of whether they are Customers of the credit score monitoring product.

FICO® SCORES

FICO® Scores are developed by Fair Isaac Corporation. The FICO Score provided by ECS in Experian Credit Works and Experian Credit Tracker is based on FICO Score 8, and is powered by Experian Credit Bureau credit data. ECS may, in its discretion and from time to time, provide a FICO Score based on the FICO Score 8 scoring model at no charge to you in a free Service (such as Experian Credit Basics). In the event ECS provides a FICO Score at no charge to you, such free FICO Score will not include an explanation of the positive and negative factors impacting your score. This information is included in a paid Service (such as Experian Credit Works or Experian Credit Tracker) that includes a FICO Score. Many but not all lenders use FICO Score 8.

In addition to the FICO Score 8, ECS may offer and provide other base or industry-specific FICO Scores (such as FICO Auto Scores and FICO Bankcard Scores). The other FICO Scores made available are calculated from versions of the base and industry-specific FICO Score models. There are many different credit scoring models that can give a different assessment of your credit rating and relative risk (risk of default) for the same credit report. Your lender or insurer may use a different FICO Score than FICO Score 8 or such other base or industry-specific FICO Score, or another type of credit score altogether. Just remember that your credit rating is often the same even if the number is not. For some consumers, however, the credit rating of FICO Score 8 (or other FICO Score) could vary from the score used by your lender. The statements that "90% of top lenders use FICO Scores" and "FICO Scores are used in 90% of credit decisions" are based on a third-party study of all versions of FICO Scores sold to lenders, including but not limited to scores based on FICO Score 8. Base FICO® Scores (including the FICO Score 8) range from 300 to 850. Industry-specific FICO Scores range from 250-900. Higher scores represent a greater likelihood that you'll pay back your debts so you are viewed as being a lower credit risk to lenders. A lower FICO Score indicates to lenders that you may be a higher credit risk. There are three different major credit reporting agencies — Experian Credit Bureau, TransUnion® and Equifax® — that maintain a record of your credit history known as your credit report. Your FICO Score is based on the information in your credit report at the time it is requested. Your credit report information can vary from agency to agency because some lenders report your credit history to only one or two of the agencies. So your FICO Score can vary if the information they have on file for you is different. Since the information in your report can change over time, your FICO Score may also change.

Due to how FICO® Scores are calculated, it is possible that you may experience a change in your score, including as compared to other scoring models previously provided by ECS (including as part of your Experian Credit Tracker membership).

Under certain circumstances, we will be unable to provide a credit score to you based on your particular credit behaviors, or a score may be unavailable at a particular time. Although your score may be unavailable at a given time, it may later become available, depending on a change in your credit behaviors or to the information a credit reporting agency has on file for you. Scores may be offered to you free of charge, or in some circumstances, may require a fee. Even if you pay a fee to obtain a score, a score may not always be available to you (even if a credit report is available to you). If a credit score is unavailable, you may want to learn more about the reasons a score is not available for you, and what actions you might be able to take so later a score may be generated for you. In the event a score is not available for you and you have questions, please call Customer Care.

ECS reserves the right to change the membership fee for any renewal term to be effective upon the renewal of your membership.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to begin to monitoring with the Experian Credit Bureau within 2 business days of successful enrollment, while you are in your free trial period. We will also use commercially reasonable efforts to begin monitoring with Equifax and TransUnion within 4 business days of successful enrollment, though in some cases it may take longer so will not be initiated during the trial period (if a trial period applies). You acknowledge and agree that ECS does not control, and therefore is not responsible, for the enrollment process with the Experian Credit Bureau, Equifax or TransUnion. Similarly, we cannot guarantee that you will be successfully enrolled in monitoring with Experian Credit Bureau, Equifax or TransUnion.

If you order a Service that includes a single bureau credit monitoring product from ECS, ECS requests only the Experian Credit Bureau enroll you in its credit monitoring program. If you order a Service that includes a credit monitoring product from ECS that monitors credit files at three credit bureaus, ECS requests that the Experian Credit Bureau, Equifax and TransUnion enroll you in their respective credit monitoring programs. Your order of any single bureau credit monitoring product is conditioned upon successful enrollment by the Experian Credit Bureau in its credit monitoring program; if the Experian Credit Bureau is not able to enroll you, your order will be cancelled and you will not receive alerts or monitoring of changes to your Experian credit file.

Your order of any tri-bureau credit monitoring product (monitoring credit files at three credit bureaus) is conditioned upon successful enrollment by at least one credit bureau in its credit monitoring program. If no credit bureau is able to enroll you in its credit monitoring program, your order will be cancelled, and you will not receive alerts or monitoring of changes to any of your credit files. In the event that one or two credit bureaus, but not all three credit bureaus, is able to enroll you in their credit monitoring, credit monitoring will be provided by the bureau or bureaus that were able to enroll you; you will not receive alerts or monitoring of changes to the credit files of the bureau or bureaus that were not able to enroll you in their credit monitoring program.

In the event you order a three-bureau credit monitoring product, by placing your order, you agree that, if fewer than all three credit bureaus enroll you in their credit monitoring, ECS is authorized to monitor only the credit files at the bureau or bureaus that enrolled you. Any such credit monitoring will be provided at the price agreed upon; you will not be eligible for a price reduction, discount or refund. ECS will notify you in the event that fewer than all three credit bureaus enroll you in credit monitoring, but such notification may not occur during your trial period.

Credit Monitoring Membership With Free Trial (Applicable to Single-Bureau Monitoring) You will be asked for valid credit card information when you sign up for the free credit monitoring trial. ECS will verify your credit card information before processing your order. An authorization in the amount of one dollar will be performed on your credit card to make sure it is valid and in good standing and the one dollar authorization amount may count against your credit or debit limit. Additionally, your credit card will be charged a non-refundable $1 fee, plus any applicable sales tax, for your Credit Report. However, ECS will not bill you the monthly membership fee until the free trial period has ended. If you do not cancel your free trial membership within 7 days of the date you place your order, your membership will continue automatically and the monthly/annual fee will be billed to the credit card or other billing source provided by you when you enrolled in credit monitoring, on the first day of each successive membership term.

Credit Monitoring Membership With Free Trial (Applicable to Multi-Bureau Credit Monitoring): You will be asked for valid credit card information when you sign up for the free credit monitoring trial. ECS will verify your credit card information before processing your order. Because enrollment in monitoring with the bureaus may be delayed, we may start your 7-day free trial 48 hours after you enroll. Therefore, you may cancel your trial membership without charge at any time within 9 days of placing your order. If you do not cancel your free trial membership within 9 days of the date you place your order, your membership will continue automatically and the monthly/annual fee will be billed to the credit card or other billing source provided by you when you enrolled in credit monitoring, on the first day of each successive membership term. If you purchase additional credit reports and/or scores during your trial period, they will be billed to the credit or debit card provided to us during enrollment. In the event that you purchase additional products from ECS using a different credit or debit card, or if you update your payment information with ECS, ECS will charge the latest card provided by you.

Credit Monitoring Membership Where No Trial Period Applies: The monthly/annual fee for a credit monitoring membership will be billed immediately to the credit card or other billing source authorized by you.

If material data exists, ECS will use reasonable efforts to notify you of such information via email alert process within two business days of the report being returned to ECS, though in limited circumstances it may take longer to process the alert. In the event that material data is found, you agree to provide any documentation that may be requested by ECS, including, but not limited, to a copy of the child's Social Security card, a copy of the child's birth certificate, proof of your identification, and proof of your residence, in order to verify your status as a parent or guardian of the registered child, before any information about the material data will be released to you.

Certification as Parent or Guardian of Children Enrolled in CHILDSECURE

ECS will provide information about a child less than 18 years of age only to the child's parent or guardian and only for use to protect the child against fraud, such as the fraudulent opening of credit accounts in your child's name. You certify that you are the parent or guardian of each child whom you have named, or will name, on the registration forms for ChildSecure, and that you understand and agree that registration may require ECS to obtain information about those children from a credit reporting company, and that any information about those children that you obtain from ECS will be used solely for the purpose of protecting against or preventing actual or potential fraud with respect the children whom you are registering or have registered in ChildSecure.

Automatic Disenrollment of Children From CHILDSECURE Prior to 18th Birthday

Minor children registered by you in ChildSecure will be automatically removed from ChildSecure within seven (7) days before their eighteenth (18th) birthday, based on the date of birth information provided by you in the registration process.

ECS may, in its sole discretion and at any time, change its corporate name, logo, Marks and other terms, phrases, graphics, logos, and icons associated with its common law or registered trademarks, service marks, and/or trade dress (collectively, ECS's "Brand"), which will not impact the enforceability of this Agreement. In the event ECS takes any action to change its Brand, ECS will notify you online, via e-mail, mail or through another means reasonably calculated to give you notice of the change in Brand. In all events, any changes to ECS's Brand will be effective immediately, and the terms of this Agreement shall remain unaffected by the change in Brand unless expressly contemplated through express revisions to this Agreement.
