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 CIC´S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT 1-866-960-6943. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT CIC'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 CIC 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. CIC WILL PAY ALL COSTS OF ARBITRATION, NO MATTER WHO WINS, SO LONG AS YOUR CLAIM IS NOT FRIVOLOUS. HOWEVER, IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND CIC WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS´ FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY TO THE SAME EXTENT AS YOU WOULD BE IN COURT.

Arbitration Agreement:
(a) CIC 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 "CIC," "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 CIC 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 CIC 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 CIC ("Demand''). If CIC and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or CIC may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by CIC or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or CIC is entitled.

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

(c) After CIC 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, CIC 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 CIC 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, CIC 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 CIC 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 CIC 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 CIC 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. However, if only a portion of this subparagraph (f) is found to be unenforceable, then the unenforceable portion of the provision shall be stricken, and the remainder of subparagraph (f) enforced. Any claims not subject to individual arbitration under applicable law shall be stayed in a court of competent jurisdiction pending completion of the individual arbitration.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if CIC 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 CIC to adhere to the language in this provision if a dispute between us arises regarding such membership product.

SECURITY MEASURES AND AUTHENTICATION

Because CIC uses security measures designed to protect your privacy and to safeguard your information, CIC may not always be able to successfully provide Products to you, including instant online delivery of your credit report for online customers. For example, for certain online Products, when the system is unable to authenticate you, you may be routed through a manual authentication process. CIC 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 a manual authentication process, it is your responsibility to complete authentication so that you can gain access to your membership on the website. Your membership will continue and we will continue to monitor your credit report, all of which will be available to you once you complete authentication. Consequently, you will continue to be billed for your membership and the associated services available to you until you cancel.For certain products, CIC cannot offer a manual authentication process and will be unable to fulfill your order if you fail online authentication one or more times. Additionally, in the case of off-line customers, CIC will mail your credit report to the best address listed on your credit file as a security measure. If you are not able to access your mail at that location, CIC cannot provide any Products to you.

ONLINE REQUIREMENTS

You must have an email address and a Java-compatible browser to receive your Products online. As an online customer, you are agreeing to receive all notifications via email at the email address on file with CIC. You are obligated to update the email address on file when your email address changes.In some cases we require that you “opt in” or provide your affirmative consent to receive emails from us in order to receive Product alerts, notices and other communications from us. Where required, it is your responsibility to provide us with such affirmative consent so that we can provide all of the communications, including alerts of changes to your credit report. However, even if you choose not to provide the affirmative consent, once you have passed authentication, the website and all of the valuable features of your membership are still available to you at any time by simply logging in. Accordingly, your membership will continue and the services will remain available whether you provide affirmative consent to receive e-mails or not.In the event that CIC is unable to deliver email messages to you, you agree to accept product 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 member 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.

In the event that you 1) fail to complete authentication after being routed through our manual authentication process; or 2) fail to update your email address on file with CIC; or, if applicable 3) fail to provide your affirmative consent to receive email from us, and thus CIC is unable to deliver email messages to you, you nonetheless understand and agree that the Product will be fulfilled at the price agreed upon at the time that you placed your order.

MEMBERSHIP ENROLLMENT

In order to become a member of ProtectMyID, you must (i) agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) be eighteen (18) years of age or older and provide your date of birth, (iii) provide a valid Social Security number, (iv) have and provide a valid land address within the United States; and (v) provide a valid email address and phone number. You will also be required to provide valid credit card information, unless you are redeeming your membership through the use of an activation/promotional code. For certain Products and/or channels where Products are sold, we reserve the right to accept or decline some forms of payment, including, but not limited to “pre-paid” or “re-loadable” credit/debit cards.

One feature of the Product is credit monitoring. Your order is conditioned upon successful enrollment in Experian^®'s credit monitoring program. If Experian is not able to enroll you in its credit monitoring program, your order will not be processed and/or will be cancelled.

In the event that you enroll in a ProtectMyID product that includes three bureau credit monitoring (monitoring credit files at three credit bureaus), Experian, and/or TransUnion® and/or Equifax^®, and are able to enroll you in their credit monitoring program, 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. While we will attempt to enroll you in monitoring at all three bureaus, we do not control the enrollment process for the credit bureaus and we are not responsible for your enrollment at any of the three bureaus. ProtectMyID will notify you in the event that fewer than all three credit bureaus enroll you in credit monitoring. However, you will not receive a price reduction, discount or refund if you are enrolled in fewer than all three credit bureaus.

EXPERIAN LIMITED CREDIT HISTORY SERVICE

Depending on the product configuration purchased by our clients, you may be offered the opportunity to enroll in the Experian Limited Credit History Service if you were originally eligible to enroll in the complimentary membership of Experian's ProtectMyID product but were subsequently determined to be ineligible for enrollment.

The Experian Limited Credit History Service may be offered to individuals who are identified by Experian as being ineligible for credit monitoring products because an Experian credit file does not exist. You will have received a code to enroll in a ProtectMyID product, attempted to enroll in the product online and received a message directing you to contact customer service. Customer Service will then review the enrollment and determine if you qualify for enrollment in the Experian Limited Credit History Service. If you attempt to enroll via phone and the agent is unable to complete the process, the agent will review the enrollment and determine if you qualify for enrollment in the Experian Limited Credit History Service. The Experian Limited Credit History Service monitors for the creation of a credit file at the Experian credit bureau on a monthly basis. A notification via postal mail will be sent monthly advising if no credit file exists. If a credit file is found to exist during the term of service, you will be requested by phone or mail to provide proof of identity. Upon authentication, a copy of your credit report will be mailed to you. Following the initial authentication process, your credit report will be mailed monthly to the address on the credit file.

To the extent the Experian Limited Credit History Service is made available to you, it will be made available for the same term as the credit monitoring benefit was to be made available.

FEATURES OF PROTECTMYID

Not all versions of ProtectMyID Products include the same features. Depending on which version of the product you enroll in, you may or may not receive a VantageScore^® 3.0 Credit Score. Please consult the associated Product literature and/or Website for included Product features. If you are already a member, please log in to the Website for your applicable Product features.

Alerts.This feature of the Product will send you an "alert" if (i) key changes are detected on your Experian(and where applicable TransUnion and Equifax) credit reports; (ii) when the Internet Scan feature(where applicable) detects your Social Security number, debit card number, or credit card number on the Internet; or (iii) (where applicable) when the United States Postal Service^®receives a request for a change of your residential address.

Credit Monitoring Alerts.This feature seeks to monitor key changes in your credit file at Experian. CIC requests that Experian enroll you in its credit monitoring program. In the event that you order a ProtectMyID product that includes three bureau credit monitoring, CIC requests that Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion enroll you in their credit monitoring programs. You will only receive alerts for key changes made to the credit reports for which you are enrolled in credit monitoring. If you are not enrolled in credit monitoring at a credit bureau, you will not receive alerts to changes on those reports.

Internet Scan Alerts.(Not available with all ProtectMyID products) The Internet Scan feature scans the Internet for your Social Security number and up to three debit or credit cards. We will not automatically scan the internet for your personal information. You must activate the Internet Scan feature in your Member Center. If you do not activate this feature, your social security number, debit card(s) or credit card(s) will not be monitored on the web. You must provide us with the information that you would like for us to monitor and scan on the internet in areas known for criminal activity. We will send you an alert if your information is detected in the method chosen by you; either email, United States Postal Service, or sms mobile text message. The Internet Scan feature is provided by CIC and a third party vendor. Because the internet is vast, neither CIC nor its vendor guarantee that Internet Scan will detect all improper use of your information.

United States Postal Service^®Change of Address Monitoring and Alerts. (Not available with all ProtectMyID products)This feature checks for changes to your registered mailing address and alerts you if an address change is detected. The following trademarks are owned by the United States Postal Service: NCOA and United States Postal Service. NCOA^Linkprocessing is performed by a non-exclusive licensee of the United States Postal Service.

Experian Credit Report.Upon successful enrollment, you will receive your Experian credit report. In some cases, you may receive a VantageScore^® 3.0 Credit Score based on Experian data^® with your Experian credit report. After 30 days, you will no longer be able to view the credit report that you receive upon enrollment. Additional credit reports and scores are available for purchase in your Member Center for an additional fee.

Lost Wallet. (Not available with all ProtectMyID products)This feature allows you to contact Customer Care and work with our fraud resolution agents if your medical ID insurance card, credit and debit cards are lost, stolen or misused without your authorization. Our fraud resolution agents will assist you in determining which cards are missing, pulling your credit report to determine which cards are affected by the loss or theft, placing a block on the cards, cancelling the cards, and getting new cards reissued in your name. In some cases, the card issuer may not allow our fraud resolution agents to cancel and reissue your credit or debit card without you on the call. If this happens, we will request that a block be placed on that card and notify you to contact your card issuer directly.

Fraud Resolution Assistance.There are certain steps that you must follow in order to obtain assistance from a fraud resolution agent. These steps include contacting a Customer Care at 1-866-960-6943. Additional information about requesting fraud resolution assistance can also be found in the My Protection Center of the Website.

If you contact us regarding fraud resolution, you are agreeing to permit CIC to order a copy of your credit report for any purpose relating to your request for assistance. "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 FRAUD RESOLUTION 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. CIC'S FRAUD RESOLUTION ASSISTANCE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A POLICY OR CONTRACT OF INSURANCE AGAINST IDENTITY THEFT AND/OR THE CONSEQUENCES OF IDENTITY THEFT.

CIC, 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 fraud resolution assistance request, including making contact by telephone, email, United States Postal Service or otherwise, to any service provider or any other person or entity that CIC 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 fraud resolution assistance request.

CIC reserves the right to request that you provide corroborating evidence of the unauthorized transaction, Identity Theft or other facts related to your fraud resolution assistance 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, CIC reserves the right to refuse any fraud resolution assistance request or provide any fraud resolution assistance in the event you fail or refuse to provide us with any requested corroborating evidence related to a possible Identity Theft.

CIC reserves the right not to provide you with any fraud resolution assistance in the event CIC 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, CIC is no longer obligated to provide any additional fraud resolution assistance.

ExtendCARE.If your ProtectMyID membership was purchased by a third-party in response to a data breach incident then you are eligible to receive the benefits of ExtendCARE. If your ProtectMyID membership was provided to you as an employee benefit, you may be entitled to ExtendCARE if your employer purchased this service. Contact your employer for more support@protectmyid.com

TERMINATION OR RESTRICTION OF ACCESS

You agree that CIC may, in its sole discretion and without notice or liability to you or any third party, immediately terminate your access to the Site and/or membership to our Product(s). Grounds for such termination shall include without limitation (a) breaches or violations of the law, Terms and Conditions, 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 Site (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 CIC, and its service provider, CSIdentity Corporation (“CSID”) to obtain information from your personal credit profile from Experian or any other credit reporting company and to obtain information from the personal credit profile, if any, of any minor child whom you have enrolled. You authorize CIC to access your credit profile (and those of any minor children whom you have enrolled), to verify your identity (or those of any minor children whom you have enrolled), and to provide credit monitoring, credit reporting, credit scoring, identity monitoring, fraud resolution and card registry products. You also authorize CIC to access your credit profile (or those of any minor children whom you have enrolled) 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 CIC 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 CIC 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 CIC. 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 CIC 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. CIC's Products are not related to the free FCRA disclosure that you are or may be entitled to.

NOTICE OF PROSECUTION

For online customers, access to and use of password protected and/or secure areas of the Product Websites are restricted to authorized users only. Unauthorized individuals attempting to access these areas of the Product Websites may be subject to prosecution.

Failure to comply with 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.

PRIVACY POLICY

By submitting your order, you acknowledge receipt of our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. To review our Privacy Policy please visit, www.protectmyid.com/privacy.

NOT A CREDIT REPAIR ORGANIZATION OR CONTRACT

ProtectMyID offers access to your credit report, your VantageScore 3.0, and other credit information. ProtectMyID and its affiliates are not credit repair organizations, and are 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 ProtectMyID 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.

CREDIT REPORTS AND SCORES

When you use ProtectMyID you are certifying that you understand and agree to the following:

You may access your credit report and/or score for thirty (30) days from the date of order.
Refunds will not be issued once we have successfully located and delivered the credit reports and scores to you.
If you have questions regarding your credit report or would like to dispute information, you may request an investigation by contacting the credit reporting company that supplied the information, as indicated in your credit report.

You acknowledge that the information provided to you through the VantageScore 3.0, including the score factors derived from the elements in your credit history, may change over time as your credit history changes. You also acknowledge that the score factor information on how to manage your credit position assumes there will be no adverse changes in your credit performance. ProtectMyID is not responsible for the accuracy or contents of your credit file, including but not limited to information delivered in the credit report and/or score products. Please note that pursuant to section 609f of the FCRA, consumers can obtain their credit score at any time for a statutorily set fee.

VANTAGESCORE 3.0 CREDIT SCORE

These products utilize the VantageScore 3.0 credit score. While this score is used by some lenders, it may not be used by all lenders, and is not an endorsement or guarantee of credit worthiness as seen by lenders. Please be aware that there are many scoring models used in the marketplace. Each scoring model may have its own set of factors and scale. The information and credit scoring may be different than that used by a lender. The VantageScore 3.0 credit score may not be identical in every respect to any other credit score produced by another company or used by lenders.

The VantageScore 3.0 credit score is calculated using actual data from Report Subject’s credit file on the day that you request a report. Keep in mind, however, that other factors, such as length of employment and annual salary, are often taken into consideration by lenders when making credit decisions about you. How lenders weigh their chosen factors may vary, but the exact formula used to calculate your score is proprietary. Also note that each consumer reporting agency has its own set of data, resulting in a separate credit score for each credit file.

You agree to request credit scores only for your use alone for the purposes stated in these Terms and Conditions and for no other purpose or use. All VantageScore credit scores provided hereunder will be held in strict confidence and may never be sold, licensed, copied, reused, disclosed, reproduced, revealed or made accessible, in whole or in part, to any person except as required by law.

VantageScore is owned by VantageScore Solutions, LLC.
