Identity Restoration Terms of Use – Experian IdentityWorks

Membership Agreement

Last Revised: 12/20/2016

This Identity Restoration by Experian service (“Identity Restoration by Experian^®“) Membership Agreement (“Agreement”) is between you and ECS (as defined below) and explains the terms and conditions under which you may use the Identity Restoration by Experian^® service (including any information or other materials on this website (the “Service Website”), collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Service”). For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “ECS”, “we”, or “us” 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 Service to you.

USE OF SERVICE WEBSITE AND/OR SERVICE

YOUR ORDER OF, USE OF, AND ACCESS TO, THE SERVICE WEBSITE AND THE SERVICE IS SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN AND ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. YOUR ORDER OF, ACCEPTANCE OF, USE OF, AND/OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICE CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT TO ABIDE BY EACH OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN AND TO PROVIDE TRUE, ACCURATE, COMPLETE AND CURRENT INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF. FURTHER, YOU AGREE THAT ECS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY IF ECS SUSPENDS OR TERMINATES YOUR ORDER, USE, OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICE FOR ANY REASON. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THESE TERMS OR CONDITIONS, DO NOT ORDER, USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICE.

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 SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE PHONE NUMBER STATED ON YOUR NOTIFICATION MATERIALS. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT ECS’S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE A COMPLAINT YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING THE SERVICE, SERVICE WEBSITE, OR ITS CONTENT 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 Service, Service Website, or its content, 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 the Service, your use of the Service Website, or its content 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 the Service, Service Website, or its content, 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, products or information under this or prior Agreements between us relating to the Service, Service Website, or its content. 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, 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 credit monitoring or other product, you may reject any such change and require ECS to adhere to the language in this provision if a dispute between us arises regarding such membership product.

IDENTITY RESTORATION SERVICE

Identity Restoration. There are certain steps that you must follow in order to receive the Service and obtain assistance from an Identity Restoration agent. These steps include contacting Customer Care at the phone number stated on your notification materials. Please note that you may be asked to provide a limited power of attorney to facilitate any Identity Restoration related work on your behalf, including without limitation, if applicable, investigating alerts and disputing fraudulent events.

If you contact us regarding identity restoration, you are agreeing to permit ECS to order a copy of your credit report for any purpose relating to your request for assistance, if applicable. “Identity Theft” means that your name, address, Social Security number, credit card, debit card or other personal identifying information was lost, stolen or was used without your knowledge or approval to commit fraud or other crimes.

THE IDENTITY RESTORATION FEATURE IS DESIGNED TO HELP YOU IN CONNECTION WITH RESOLUTION OF AN IDENTITY THEFT. THIS PRODUCT IS PROVIDED TO ASSIST WITH RESOLUTION AND IS SEPARATE FROM ANY AND ALL PRECAUTIONS YOU SHOULD REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO TAKE, INCLUDING PROTECTING YOUR ACCOUNT NAMES, PASSWORDS, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND OTHER PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. ECS’S IDENTITY RESTORATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A POLICY OR CONTRACT OF INSURANCE AGAINST IDENTITY THEFT AND/OR THE CONSEQUENCES OF IDENTITY THEFT.

ECS, including its agents, independent contractors, assigns or other expressly authorized third party, reserves the right to make an independent investigation of the facts and circumstances related to any identity restoration request, including making contact by telephone, email, United States Postal Service or otherwise, to any service provider or any other person or entity that ECS deems necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, regardless of whether you provide express authorization to make such contact for purposes of verifying and assisting you with your identity restoration assistance request.

ECS reserves the right to request that you provide corroborating evidence of the unauthorized transaction, Identity Theft or other facts related to your identity restoration request, including signed affidavits, law enforcement or governmental agency reports, receipts of expenses, insurance declaration forms, or any other corroborating evidence that we may deem necessary and reasonable. Further, ECS reserves the right to refuse any identity restoration request or provide any identity restoration assistance in the event you fail or refuse to provide us with any requested corroborating evidence related to a possible Identity Theft, including without limitation, a limited power of attorney.

ECS reserves the right not to provide you with any identity restoration assistance in the event ECS determines that you knew, or should reasonably have known, of an act of Identity Theft that commenced prior to your membership. If at any time you cancel your membership, ECS is no longer obligated to provide any additional identity restoration assistance.

IDENTITY RESTORATION CANCELLATION

If, at any time (including after beginning identity restoration assistance), you choose to discontinue using the Service, you may contact us at any time to cancel ECS’s provision of or your receipt of any further assistance. You may contact us by calling the phone number stated on your notification materials.

CANCELLATION

TERMINATION OR RESTRICTION OF ACCESS

You agree that ECS may, in its sole discretion and without notice or liability to you or any third party, immediately terminate your access to the Service Website and/or membership to our Service. Grounds for such termination shall include without limitation (a) breaches or violations of the law, this Agreement (including any terms and conditions contained herein), or other agreements, rules or guidelines, (b) requests by law enforcement or government agencies, (c) a request by you or a third party who pays for your membership to terminate your membership, (d) discontinuance or material modification of the Service or the Service Website (or any part thereof), (e) unexpected technical or security issues or problems.

FCRA DISCLOSURES

You understand and agree that by submitting your order you are providing “written instructions” in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended (“FCRA”), for ECS to obtain information from your personal credit profile from Experian or any other credit reporting company. You authorize ECS to access your credit profile, to verify your identity, and to provide identity restoration products. You also authorize ECS to access your credit profile to perform other functions related to providing the product(s) that you have ordered or may order, including to verify your identity or any certification that you may be required to make.

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:

You have been denied credit, insurance or employment in the past sixty (60) days as a result of your report
You certify in writing that you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the sixty (60) day period beginning on the day you make the certification
You are a recipient of public welfare assistance
You have reason to believe that your file at the agency contains inaccurate information due to fraud

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 file or to receive a copy of your Experian consumer disclosure.

The credit report you are requesting from ECS is not intended to constitute the disclosure of Experian information required by the FCRA or similar state laws. Experian’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 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, Equifax, and TransUnion) once every twelve (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 Products are not related to the free FCRA disclosure that you are or may be entitled to.
