IDENTITYWORKS™ PRODUCT AGREEMENT TERMS
These IDENTITYWORKS terms and conditions constitute a Product Agreement (the “Agreement”) made by and between ConsumerInfo.com, Inc., a California corporation, (“CIC”) also known as Experian Consumer Services, and the party identified as “Client” on an Order Form as well as its Affiliates (collectively, “Client”). Each of CIC and Client are sometimes referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
Any Order Form signed by Client, which explicitly references the URL where these terms and conditions are viewable, is made a material part of this Agreement and is incorporated herein by this reference.
- Agreement. This Agreement contains the standard terms and conditions for CIC’s delivery of certain identity theft, credit monitoring and protection products and services (collectively, the “Consumer Products”). Separate from or in addition to the Consumer Products, Client may elect for CIC to provide certain other supplemental services (“Supplemental Services”). Client may also elect to have its Affiliates purchase Consumer Products or Supplemental Services pursuant to this Agreement. An “Affiliate” means any entity controlled by, under common control with or that controls the applicable Party, where “control” means ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the ownership interest of an entity.
- Consumer Product Delivery. Consumer Products will be delivered by CIC to consumers, employees, or other individuals with whom Client has a pre-existing relationship and or otherwise maintains such individuals’ personal and/or other sensitive information (“Individual”). As a condition of receiving the Consumer Product, each Individual must complete CIC’s applicable enrollment process and agree to all terms and conditions as well as CIC’s privacy policy (collectively, the “End-User Terms and Conditions”). The CIC operational terms and conditions that apply to the delivery of the Consumer Products are included herein (“Operational Terms”).
- Supplemental Services Delivery. Supplemental Services will be delivered by CIC to Client or its Affiliates solely pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including a Supplemental Services Schedule if completed by Client.
- Term & Termination. The term of this Agreement will begin upon the Effective Date set-out below and will continue in effect until the termination or expiration of all Schedules and Orders issued pursuant to this agreement. Either Party may terminate this Agreement and/or selected Schedules if the other Party breaches any material term or condition of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of the breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement and/or selected Schedules for any reason at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that all fully executed Order Forms are non-cancellable and non-refundable once submitted to and accepted by CIC. Therefore, in the event of a termination: (i) CIC will fulfill the delivery requirement of any active Order Form, but will have no further obligation to accept additional Order Forms following the effective date of termination; and (ii) Client will pay all Fees related to Order Forms submitted prior to the effective date of termination. Terms which by their nature would survive a termination (indemnity, disclaimers, etc.) shall survive in the event of a termination.
- Schedules & Client Orders. The terms of this Agreement shall be supplemented by individual schedules containing additional terms and conditions applicable to the specific Consumer Products or Supplemental Services (“Schedules”). In order to purchase any particular Consumer Products or Supplemental Services Client must submit an order form completed and signed by an authorized representative of Client (“Order Form”). A sample Order Form may be requested from CIC.
- Fees and Payment. Client will pay CIC for all Consumer Products and Supplemental Services delivered in accordance with the pricing and other requirements contained within the Schedules and each Order Form (“Fees”). All Client payments are due thirty (30) days from the date of each CIC invoice. Interest shall accrue on any past due amounts at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month. In addition, Client is liable to CIC for any costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by CIC to collect unpaid amounts.
- Taxes. Client is responsible for, and shall promptly pay or reimburse CIC for the payment of, any sales, use, excise, ad valorem, value-added or other similar taxes, assessments or duties imposed by any government agency that are associated with the Consumer Products or Supplemental Services (other than taxes based on CIC's net income).

IDENTITYWORKS™ OPERATIONAL TERMS
These IDENTITYWORKS Operational Terms (“Operational Terms”) supplement and form a part of the IDENTITYWORKS Product Agreement (“Agreement”) Client has previously or simultaneously entered into with CIC. The Operational Terms apply to CIC’s provision of Consumer Products to Client, and to Clients’ Individuals. Please note that the majority of defined terms used throughout these Operational Terms are already defined within the Agreement (please refer to that document for their definitions), and the following section of “Additional Defined Terms” is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all defined terms used herein.
Additional Defined Terms:
“Activation Code” means a unique, single use code with respect to each Individual that allows such Individual to enroll for and receive the Consumer Product. Each Individual may only redeem his/her Activation Code for only one applicable Consumer Product.
“Consumer Product Website” is the web site built, hosted and maintained by CIC where each Individual may enroll for the applicable Consumer Product during the Enrollment Period. If Client requires a custom or unique website, such website shall be referred to as a “Custom Consumer Product Website.”
“Notification Letter” means the communication developed and written by Client which notifies Individuals of the availability of Consumer Products.
“Enrollment Period” means the period commencing on the date stipulated within the relevant Order Form and ending on the Enrollment End Date as set forth within the same Order Form. This is the period during which Individuals may redeem their Activation Code and thereby enroll in the Consumer Product.
“Product Term” means the period set forth within an Order Form commencing on the date an Individual completes enrollment for the Consumer Product.
(1) Distribution of Activation Codes. Client agrees not to sell or otherwise distribute any Activation Codes, except to Individuals and only as expressly permitted under this Agreement. In no event shall CIC be liable for any loss, damage, theft, corruption or destruction (“Loss”) of Activation Codes once issued by CIC to Client, including, but not limited to, any such Loss attributable to Client’s distribution, storage (if applicable) and/or mailing of such Activation Codes. CIC shall be liable and responsible for any Loss while the Activation Codes are in either CIC’s or a Third-Party Provider’s possession or control. Note that if Client has retained an agent or subcontractor related to the delivery of Consumer Products (such as a third-party print-shop, call center or law firm), CIC is not obliged to communicate with or provide services to any such third-parties who may have contractual or other relationships with Client except as explicitly authorized by Client in writing and agreed to by CIC.
(2) Enrollment. Once an Individual receives an Activation Code they may enroll in the applicable Consumer Product either (a) online via the Consumer Product Website, or (b) offline via a telephone call to CIC Customer Care. No other enrollment process shall be applicable unless agreed to in writing by both CIC and Client.
(3) No-Charge to Consumer for the Consumer Product. CIC shall not charge Individuals for the Consumer Product purchased by Client and provided by CIC under this Agreement during the Product Term.
(4) Delivery Method. The delivery method of the Consumer Products to the Individuals during the Product Term is able to be modified by Individual election (i.e., if Individuals enroll online, they may subsequently switch to offline delivery, and vice versa). Due to CIC security measures, an Individual attempting to login to their account from a location outside the U.S. may not be able to gain access to their account; however, such Individuals may call CIC’s international non-toll free number to obtain account related information while located outside the U.S. In accordance with the Consumer Products Schedule, certain products may only be available for enrollment and delivery online (i.e. without offline capabilities).
(5) Consumer Product Website. The Consumer Product Website shall be used by the Individuals to enroll in the Consumer Product and subsequent to enrollment, to log-in and access their account and all the product features. Unless agreed to in writing by CIC, all content, including the design and look and feel, of the Consumer Product Website shall be determined by CIC, at its sole and absolute discretion. The Consumer Product Website shall be operated in accordance with CIC’s standard procedures and shall be accessible by Individuals on the earlier of (a) Custom Consumer Product Website Launch Date as set forth in an Order Form, or (b) upon CIC’s acceptance of an Order Form in the event Client is utilizing a standard, pre-built CIC site-version (your CIC account representative can notify you if this is the case).
(6) Authentication Process. Client hereby acknowledges that CIC shall maintain strict procedures and protocols relating to its enrollment and authentication processes (including timed-out and other security measures), and failure by an Individual to follow such procedures and protocols may result in a failed enrollment. Client also acknowledges that there are a number of additional reasons and factors that may cause Individuals to fail authentication or enrollment, including, without limitation: corporate firewalls, proxy servers, spam blockers, fraud alerts, credit file freezes, data errors, inaccurate out-of-wallet information, or incorrect social security numbers. Upon any such failure, each affected Individual shall be provided with the toll-free number to CIC Customer Care. When an Individual initiates such a call, a CIC customer care representative will attempt to manually authenticate such Individual by asking additional security questions. In the event such a telephonic authentication is not possible, additional steps may be taken. CIC shall endeavor to make the enrollment process as “user-friendly” as reasonably possible without compromising its security standards. CIC reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to modify or alter the enrollment process and/or the services associated therewith from time to time without notice to Client.
(7) Information Collected From Individuals. All information obtained by CIC directly from such Individual, including without limitation, (a) through Individual enrollment for the Consumer Product or by such Individual visiting CIC’s website(s), or (b) through provision of the Consumer Product is collected and used by CIC in accordance with the End-User Terms and Conditions, which is available for review by all Individuals prior to completing their enrollment in the Consumer Products. End-User Terms and Conditions (including Privacy Policies) may be amended from time to time.
(8) Customer Care. Customer care will be available to Individuals via a toll-free number that is only available to U.S. callers, which may be maintained by a third party engaged by CIC (“CIC Customer Care”). No credit information of any Individuals shall be maintained outside of the United States. Identity Restoration and ExtendCARE shall be available to Individuals via a separate team of customer care representatives in the United States. The services available via CIC Customer Care are limited to: assistance with telephone and email inquiries regarding enrollment for the Consumer Product and technical issues relating to redemption of Activation Codes, authentication failure, username and password assistance, cancellations, locked accounts, changes in personal information, billing questions about additional products, general credit-related questions, monitoring and alert information, credit reports obtained as part of an Individual’s enrollment in the Consumer Products, and general Consumer Product Website navigation. Customer Care Center hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pacific Time. The Customer Care Center will not have access to and will not provide any information related to Client or its business and/or Clients’ legal decisions in making the Consumer Product available to Individuals on a complimentary basis, and will refer any such inquiries back to Client.
(9) Third-Party Providers; Credit Reporting Company Requirements. Portions of the Consumer Product will be provided by CIC’s partners, Affiliates and certain third parties, including the consumer reporting companies (collectively, “Third-Party Providers”) and are therefore subject to each of those entities’ respective standard terms, conditions and policies. Third-Party Providers who may be utilized by CIC in delivery of the Consumer Products include but are not limited to the following: Equifax, Inc., TransUnion, LLC, Affiliates of CIC, and American International Group, Inc.. Additional Third-Party Providers may be added from time to time at CIC’s discretion. If applicable, Individuals must comply with the Third-Party Providers requirements in order to receive portions of the Consumer Product (as an example, AIG insurance claim processing requirements). The consumer reporting companies are not subcontractors or agents of CIC, and therefore, CIC does not control such terms and conditions or requirements and may be unable to intervene or assist Individuals in any way in meeting such varying consumer reporting company requirements. Individuals shall be solely responsible for handling any issues relating to such terms and conditions and requirements directly with any such consumer reporting company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Individuals shall be required to provide all necessary information and meet other criteria required by each applicable consumer reporting company (Experian Information Solutions, Inc., Equifax, Inc. and TransUnion LLC) in order to receive a credit report or other products and services from such company.
(10) Intellectual Property and Branding of Consumer Products. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by CIC, the Consumer Products shall be branded as determined by CIC, at its sole and absolute discretion, and Client shall not designate (through trademark, trade name, trade dress or otherwise) the Consumer Products as being provided by Client. CIC and/or its Affiliates or Third-Party Providers shall exclusively own all right, title and interest, including all copyrights, trade secrets, know-how, goodwill, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, logos, patents or other intellectual property (or any derivative works thereof) and underlying technology in (i) the Consumer Products and all other products provided by CIC hereunder, (ii) the Consumer Product Website, and (iii) all other materials and information provided by CIC to Client hereunder. No grant to use any intellectual property (including any trademarks) of CIC, its Affiliates or Third-Party Providers is made pursuant to the Agreement. Client shall retain ownership of any and all pre-existing Client intellectual property, including but not limited to Client’s trademarks, patents and trade dress.
(11) Client Notification to Individuals. Within a mutually agreeable period of time following submission of an Order Form Client shall prepare a Notification Letter to be sent via U.S. Mail or email which must include:
(a) one Activation Code per each Individual identified as affected by Client’s subject data breach or data loss incident,
(b) the procedures for enrollment in the Consumer Product (including, but not limited to the (i) Consumer Product Website where such Individuals may properly utilize their Activation Code and (ii) the appropriate CIC Customer Care phone numbers), and
(c) a listing of the key Consumer Product features.
Any and all planned Client notification processes that include elements other than the Notification Letter (i.e. website postings, e-mails, newspaper or published notice, etc.) which explicitly mention CIC or the Consumer Products by name must be pre-approved by CIC in writing. Client shall not provide, in any Notification Letter or any other public communication (including but not limited to communications with Individuals), any representation, description or other statement regarding the Consumer Products or otherwise refer to CIC or its Affiliates in any way other than language provided expressly by CIC or otherwise pre-approved by CIC in writing. Client shall provide CIC with a final copy of the Notification Letter at least five (5) days prior to the distribution of the Notification Letters and CIC may withhold delivery of Activation Codes to Client until a final Notification Letter has been received by CIC.
(12) Large Incident Notices. In the event Client requests 50,000 or more Activation Codes and upon CIC’s reasonable request, Client must provide CIC a mailing schedule at least five (5) days prior to Client commencing delivery of any and all Notification Letters to Individuals. Once provided by Client, CIC will allocate CIC Customer Care and other resources in accordance with such schedule; any significant updates or modifications by Client to the schedule must be provided to CIC immediately and may result in increased costs for CIC that will require revised pricing discussions with Client.
(13) Client Requirements, Placing an Order & Changes to the Agreement.During the Term of the Agreement, Client may submit additional Order Forms for the purchase of additional Activation Codes.
(14) Insurance. The insurance provided to Individuals pursuant to the Consumer Products is strictly subject to the policies, terms and conditions of the designated third-party insurers. Such policies, and associated terms and conditions are provided to Individuals at the time each Individual enrolls for the Consumer Product. CIC does not directly sell such insurance to Client or Individuals. Individuals should carefully review such policies to determine the insurance terms and conditions, including limits and coverage of insurable losses. At the election of the designated third-party insurer or CIC, (a) the amount of insurance coverage to be provided to Individuals, and/or (b) the designation of the third-party insurer(s) are both subject to change at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, identity theft insurance may not be provided to any Individuals residing in any state where the provision of such insurance is prohibited by Law.

CIC offers the Supplemental Services detailed within this Schedule subject to the following service descriptions and additional terms and conditions:
- Enhanced Customer Care (FAQ Call Center). Client may request assistance from CIC with certain “enhanced” call center services. These services are described as responding to Individual FAQ type queries via customized scripting provided by Client (with such scripting accepted in writing by CIC). The appropriate toll-free number to reach an Enhanced Call Center Services location will typically be presented to Individuals as part of the Notification Letter, along with a clear, brief description of what the Enhanced Call Center Services entail. If Client wishes to distribute a number to any CIC managed Enhanced Call Center Services location via a method other than the Notification Letter, then CIC must approve this distribution in writing in advance. Hours of operation for Enhanced Customer Care Services are Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pacific Time, excluding CIC recognized holidays. Enhanced Call Center Services are delivered separate and apart from the CIC Call Center Services detailed within the Operational Terms. Enhanced Call Center Services may be provided by CIC or a Third-Party Provider. Client hereby acknowledges and agrees that Client shall be solely responsible for the content of all final, approved scripting and FAQ’s to be used for this Supplemental Service.
- Printing & Mailing of Notification Letters. Client may request assistance from CIC with facilitating the transmission of the Notification Letter. CIC offers this Supplemental Service through use of CIC’s Third-Party Provider (a specific printing vendor). Client shall send the names and addresses of all such Individuals to whom Notification Letters should be conveyed (“Notification File”) to CIC via CIC’s Secure File Transfer protocol (“SFT”) or by another secure method agreed upon in writing by the Parties. CIC shall forward the Notification File via SFT to its Third-Party Provider and once CIC has established that its’ Third-Party Provider has received the Notification File, CIC will promptly purge and destroy all Notification File information that is within CIC’s possession. In no event shall Clients Notification File be added or appended to any CIC database, nor shall the Notification File be used by CIC or its’ Third-Party Provider for any purpose whatsoever other than facilitating the printing and mailing of the Client’s Notification Letters. CIC’s Third-Party Provider shall purge and destroy the Notification File promptly upon completion of the mailing services, including any returned mail processing. Client hereby acknowledges and agrees that it with respect to this Supplemental Service Client shall be solely responsible for (a) compliance with all Laws applicable to the preparation and provision of the Notification Letters to Individuals, (b) timely delivery to CIC of the Notification File, and (c) provision of complete and accurate instructions regarding the date(s) that CIC’s Third-Party Provider is requested to mail the Notification Letters to Individuals.

Client agrees to pay CIC for each Notification Letter that Client may request CIC’s Third-Party Provider to prepare in accordance with the pricing delineated on the Order Form. Any pages in addition to the one-page (double sided) Notification Letter shall be priced separately (and in addition to the costs already referenced therein) in accordance with the mutual written agreement of the parties. For a larger batch of Notification Letters, CIC may request pre-paid postage from Client for all Notification Letters on a case-by-case basis; in the event Client chooses not to pre-pay the postage, CIC reserves the right to present Client with modified pricing.
- Address Append Services. Client may request assistance from CIC in order to assist with providing a “best known” address for purposes of mailing Notification Letters since, as an example, Client may have access to only an Individual’s social security number (SSN) and/or aged address data. Client MUST certify via signature of a supplemental rider to the Agreement that the use of any of this data as delivered by CIC will only be used by Client in compliance with Law (“Address Append Rider”). Upon receipt of the executed Address Append Rider from Client, the SSNs of all such Individuals will be provided by Client to CIC (“Input File”) via SFT (or by another secure method agreed to in writing by the Parties). CIC shall forward such information to its Affiliate, Experian Information Solutions, Inc. (“EIS”), in order that EIS may produce an address append file (“Address Append File”). Reasonable commercial efforts will be used by EIS to retrieve an Individual’s name and/or address. In some instances, multiple matches will be returned for an Individual and Client is solely responsible for identifying the best matched record to use for mailing that Individual a Notification Letter. Client hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for (a) compliance with all Laws applicable to the utilization of File OneSM data and the Address Append File to notify Individuals, (b) timely delivery to CIC of the Input File, and (c) a properly formatted and machine readable Input File for optimal processing. Client agrees to pay CIC for each Individual record searched in accordance with the pricing delineated on the Order Form. Any subsequent or modified Input Files may be priced separately in accordance with the mutual written agreement of the parties. The Input file shall be promptly purged and destroyed upon completion of the Address Append Services. In no event will the Input File be added or appended to any CIC or EIS database, nor shall the Input File be used by CIC or EIS for any purpose whatsoever other than facilitating the Address Append Services.
For purposes of clarity, the Notification File and the Input File are both owned by Client and shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Client. CIC shall at all times comply, and ensure that its Third-Party Providers and EIS comply, with any Law applicable to the receipt, use and processing of the Notification File and the Input File.
