Subscriber Agreement Additional Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions are incorporated by reference into the Subscriber Agreement. The Subscriber Agreement, attachments thereto, and these Terms and Conditions (collectively the “Agreement,” as may be amended, supplemented and/or modified from time to time), constitute the entire agreement between Subscriber and DCI. Failure to abide by the terms of the Agreement may result in immediate suspension and/or termination of your access to and use of the DCI Services, in DCI’ sole discretion.
1. Restricted License
Debt Collectors International, Inc. (“DCI”) grants to Subscriber and the persons that Subscriber permits to access the DCI Services, as well as, where applicable, persons permitted access by such persons (“Permitted Users”) a restricted personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to obtain and use the DCI Services and the information derived from the DCI Services (“Services Information”). The subscriber agrees its and its Permitted Users’ use of the DCI Services and Services Information will comply with the Subscriber Agreement, these Terms and Conditions, and all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and regulatory directives. The terms “Subscriber” and “DCI Services” as used herein are defined in the underlying Subscriber Agreement. Upon termination of the Subscriber Agreement, Subscriber shall immediately cease use of the DCI Services and Services Information and promptly (no later than within 3 business days) return to DCI or purge and destroy the Services Information taking measures in accordance with industry standards to protect against unauthorized access to or use of the Services Information, including, but not limited to, purge and destruction being undertaken in a manner that renders same completely non-reconstructible, unusable, and undecipherable. Upon request, the Subscriber shall certify in writing to DCI that such purge and destruction has occurred. Subscriber recognizes that DCI will suffer irreparable harm, and that monetary damages may be incalculable and/or inadequate in the event that Subscriber retains Services Information in breach of this Agreement, and therefore, such breach shall be entitled to remedy by injunctive relief, in addition to any and all other relief which may be available at law or at equity.
2.Fees and Payment
Subscriber agrees to pay all charges and fees applicable to the DCI Services. All accounts are subject to a minimum monthly fee as determined by DCI’ then-current fee schedule. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing between Subscriber and DCI, all fees and applicable charges may be revised from time to time without notice to Subscriber. All current and future pricing documents and schedules are deemed incorporated herein by reference. Fees and charges not timely paid may result in immediate account suspension and/or termination. Delinquent payment, customer-initiated termination, or suspension due to violations of these Terms and Conditions or DCI policies and procedures may be subject to additional reconnection fees. To avoid the monthly minimum fees and/or fees and charges set forth in this Agreement and in any executed Pricing Supplement, Subscriber must terminate account prior to the first day of the month. If account is terminated after the first day of the month, the monthly minimum fee and/or monthly fees outlined in the Pricing Supplement will apply; however, no further charges will be incurred. Subscriber will not receive a refund for the remainder the billing month. For any past due outstanding amounts and without limiting any of DCI’ remedies for non-payment or late payment of invoices, invoices not timely paid may be subject to a late charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (18% per year) or the maximum allowed by law, whichever is less. If collection efforts are required, Subscriber shall pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any delinquent Subscriber account may result in DCI reporting to Dun & Bradstreet or other business credit reporting agencies. Subscriber shall pay any and all costs, taxes (excluding federal and state income taxes on the overall income of DCI) or other similar assessments or charges payable or ruled payable by any governmental authority in respect of the Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder, including all interest and penalties, if any. By providing payment information online and/or directly to DCI, Subscriber authorizes DCI to charge credit card or other account designated for such purpose (“Payment Source”). A prior authorization may be requested from the Payment Source during the free trial period to ensure it is valid, but Payment Source will not be charged for usage fees until the end of the first billing month, provided that Subscriber has not cancelled account prior to the end of the free trial. If Subscriber does not cancel account beyond the trial period, account access will automatically continue without interruption and the applicable fee(s) will be billed to the Payment Source. Subscriber will still be responsible for any applicable site visit fee incurred, regardless of whether or not the account has been canceled during or after the free trial. In the event that DCI is unable to charge Subscriber Payment Source, failure by Subscriber to provide a valid Payment Source in a timely manner may result in account suspension and/or termination. DCI is not responsible for any overdraft/over-the-limit charges or bank fees resulting from processing of account charges.
3. Audit
Subscriber understands and agrees that, DCI, including its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries may request information of Subscriber and its Permitted Users and/or perform initial and periodic on-site audits, in each case for the purpose of investigating and confirming that Subscriber and its Permitted Users intend to use the DCI Services for a permitted use and that Subscriber and its Permitted Users are acting in accordance with the Subscriber Agreement and applicable law. Subscriber shall promptly comply (and cause its Permitted Users to comply) with any requests for information, and understands and agrees that, upon reasonable notice, DCI, including its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries, may conduct on-site audits of Subscriber and its processes and procedures related to Subscriber’s and its Permitted Users’ use, storage, and disposal of DCI Services and Services Information. Subscriber shall fully cooperate with such reviews and audits and shall cause its Permitted Users to do the same. Violations discovered in any review or audit may be subject to immediate action including, but not limited to, legal action, suspension of the provision of DCI Services, termination of the license, reactivation fees, and/or referral to federal or state regulatory agencies.

The DCI Services are provided “as-is,” with no warranties of any kind, whether express, implied in fact or by operation of law, or statutory, including without limitation, those as to quality, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or currentness, and those warranties that might be implied from a course of performance or dealing or trade usage and warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. DCI reserves the right to add new features and/or data sources to the DCI Services as well as discontinue existing features and/or data sources from time to time, without notice and in its sole discretion. DCI may not be the source of the data within the DCI Services, nor is DCI a comprehensive source of that data. DCI may also limit or impose restrictions and/or prohibitions on Subscriber’s use of some or all of DCI Services resulting from a modification to a DCI policy, a modification to a third-party agreement, change in industry standards, security incident, or change in law, rule, or regulation. DCI and its representatives, including parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, shall not be liable to Subscriber or other third parties for, and Subscriber agrees that it and its Permitted Users will not sue for, any claim relating to DCI’ procuring, compiling, collecting, interpreting, reporting, communicating, or delivering DCI Services. DCI’ ENTIRE AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO SUBSCRIBER UNDER THE SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES NOT EXCEEDING THE FEE PAID BY SUBSCRIBER FOR THE DCI SERVICES OBTAINED WHICH GIVE RISE TO ANY FIRST SUCH CLAIM. IN NO EVENT SHALL DCI BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES INCURRED BY THE OTHER PARTY AND ARISING OUT OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF GOOD WILL AND LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE IS BASED IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, INDEMNITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. ADDITIONALLY, DCI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT MORE THAN TWO (2) YEARS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION HAS ACCRUED.
14. Relationship
The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Subscriber Agreement or in the activities contemplated by the parties hereunder shall be deemed to create an agency, partnership, employment, outsourced servicer or joint venture relationship between the parties.
15. Modifications

These Terms and Conditions are subject to change from time to time. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof which may be given by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, posting such changes on the website. Accordingly, Subscriber should periodically review these Terms and Conditions. By continuing to enter the Website, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it shall be bound by any such modifications.
16. Subscriber Credentialing and Notification of Changes
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that DCI will grant Subscriber access the DCI Services hereunder only if Subscriber meets, and continues to meet, DCI’ credentialing standards. Subscriber agrees to reasonably cooperate with DCI’ credentialing procedures, including, but not limited to, submittal of a completed application for access to the DCI Services (the “Application”), a review of Subscriber’s business records and information, and, as applicable, a physical inspection of Subscriber’s business premises. Subscriber shall notify DCI immediately of any changes to the information on the Subscriber’s Application. Notification of any changes shall be sent via email to accountupdate@tlo.com. Subscriber acknowledges that changes to the business location, classification or other material facts may be subject to re-credentialing by DCI. DCI reserves the right to terminate the license to use DCI Services without further notice, including, upon DCI’ notice of any change in Subscriber’s status, which change, in DCI sole discretion, would cause the Subscriber not to meet, or to no longer meet, DCI’ credentialing standards, or to be unable to comply with Subscriber’s obligations under the Agreement.
17. Confidentiality; Reservation of Rights
Subscriber shall (and cause its Permitted Users to) hold in confidence and shall (and shall cause its Permitted Users to) not disclose, in whole or in part, information relating to DCI’ business, including, without limitation, products, services, systems, processes, pricing, data sources, test results, and other DCI technical and financial information, including the terms of the Subscriber Agreement, as well as DCI Services and Services Information, and any analyses, compilations and reports derived from any of the foregoing. DCI and Subscriber acknowledge that they each may have access to confidential information of the disclosing party relating to the disclosing party’s business including, without limitation, technical, financial, strategies and related information, computer programs, algorithms, know-how, processes, ideas, inventions, schematics, trade secrets, and other information (whether written or oral), and in the case of Services Information, product information, pricing information, product development plans, forecasts, the DCI Services, and other business information (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) was known to the receiving party, as demonstrated through its written records, prior to the time of receipt under the Subscriber Agreement and these Terms and Conditions; (ii) is or becomes public or available to the general public (through no improper action or inaction by the receiving party); (iii) was independently developed without use of any Confidential Information of the disclosing party by employees of the receiving party who have had no access to such Confidential Information; or (iv) was lawfully disclosed to the receiving party by a third-party and received in good faith and without any duty of confidentiality by the receiving party or the third-party. Each receiving party agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information or information derived therefrom to any third-party and shall protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information with the same degree of care it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information and trade secrets, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving party may disclose Confidential Information solely to the extent required by subpoena, court order or other governmental authority, provided that the receiving party shall give the disclosing party prompt written notice of such subpoena, court order or other governmental authority so as to allow the disclosing party to have an opportunity to obtain a protective order to prohibit or restrict such disclosure at its sole cost and expense. Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to subpoena, court order or other governmental authority shall otherwise remain subject to the terms applicable to Confidential Information. Each party’s obligations with respect to Confidential Information shall continue for the term of the Subscriber Agreement and Terms and Conditions and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, provided however, that with respect to trade secrets, each party’s obligations shall continue for so long as such Confidential Information continues to constitute a trade secret. In the event that a receiving party has or acquires actual knowledge of any breach of the confidentiality of, or the misappropriation of, any Confidential Information received under this Agreement, such party shall promptly give notice thereof to the other party. Neither party shall issue any news releases, advertising or promotional releases relating to this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other party. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Prior to responding to any inquiry, that either party receives from news media concerning this Agreement, the parties shall coordinate their responses with each other. Subscriber acknowledges that DCI has expended considerable time, effort and funds to create, compile and generate the DCI Services and Services Information. Except for the limited access and use rights granted in the Subscriber Agreement, DCI and its data sources retain all respective rights, titles and interests in the DCI Services and Services Information, and Subscriber is not granted any ownership rights or title thereto, whether by estoppel or otherwise. Subscriber shall not (and shall cause its Permitted Users not to) use the DCI Services or Services Information in any way that may infringe any copyright or other proprietary interests of DCI or a third party. DCI shall own Subscriber’s search inquiry and/or input data used to access the DCI Services and may use such data for any purpose consistent with applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. Each party acknowledges that any breach of any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality or use of Confidential Information hereunder is likely to cause or threaten irreparable harm to the other party. The parties therefore agree that in the event of such breach by either party, the other party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief to protect its interests, including but not limited to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving any actual damages sustained by the disclosing party, and without the requirement of bond or security, as well as monetary damages. Moreover, any such award of relief to the discloser of such Confidential Information shall include recovery of all actual and reasonable costs associated with enforcement of this Agreement including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. The parties hereto acknowledge their respective obligations to control access to technical information and material under the U.S. Export Laws and Regulations and agree to adhere to such Laws and Regulations with regard to any technical information and material received under this Agreement.

Subscriber and its Permitted Users are authorized to access the DCI Services and in no event will Subscribers’ or its Permitted Users’ use of the DCI Services be considered unauthorized so long as DCI has not suspended or terminated the DCI Services with respect to Subscriber. Subscriber’s and its Permitted Users’ use of the Services Information must comply with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that Subscriber designates Permitted Users in a way that is inconsistent with its Subscriber Agreement or Pricing Supplement or Subscribers’ Permitted Users use the DCI Services for purposes other than Subscribers’ internal business purposes, DCI reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate Subscriber’s account. Subscriber represents and warrants that it will conduct, or has conducted, the appropriate level of background screening, including but not limited to, criminal history screening, OFAC verification, and drug testing (where permitted by applicable law), on its Permitted Users prior to access to DCI Services being granted to its Permitted Users. Subscriber agrees to retain documentation which validates the appropriate level of screening requirements has been completed and allow DCI to review such documentation upon request. Subscriber further agrees to maintain and follow a written procedure for how it will comply with the screening and permitted user. If the permitted user satisfies the appropriate screening requirements prior to being given access to DCI Services, but Subscriber subsequently becomes aware of any information that would result in a permitted user failing the appropriate screening requirements, Subscriber shall immediately remove the permitted user’s access to DCI Services. Subscriber represents and warrants it has the right and/or authorization to provide and/or make available any and all inquiry data and/or input data, including, but not limited to, data obtained from third parties, to DCI for its use in providing the DCI Services hereunder. Subscriber agrees to be responsible for all access to and use of the DCI Services and Services Information by DCI IDs created by or on behalf of Subscriber or its Permitted Users, whether Subscriber authorized such use or not.

Subscriber will employ appropriate policies and procedures to control access and security of usernames, passwords, and terminal access for DCI Services. Subscriber will promptly (but in no event later than within twenty-four hours of the occurrence) notify DCI at SecurityIncident@TransUnion.com of any breach of security involving the DCI Services. Subscriber will: (i) limit access to DCI Services to only to its Permitted Users in connection with the duties and obligations under this Agreement; (ii) advise individuals having access to DCI Services of the proprietary and confidential nature thereof and of the obligations set forth in the Subscriber Agreement; (iii) safeguard the Services Information using reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security safeguards; (iv) track and monitor its access to DCI Services; (v) prevent any use not in conformance with this Agreement; (vi) maintain records sufficient to demonstrate compliance with its obligations under this Agreement; and (vii) in addition to the obligations set forth herein, Subscriber shall take all commercially reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access to, or use of, DCI Services or Services Information by any person or entity. In the event Subscriber will utilize a third party (“Third Party Provider”) for the purpose of accessing and/or transmitting requests for, receiving, hosting, or otherwise performing processing of any kind related to Subscriber’s access to and/or use of the DCI Services and/or Services Information, such as, for example, but not limited to, an application services provider, platform provider, systems interface provider, or internet or hosting services provider, Subscriber shall ensure it has first entered into an agreement with such Third Party Provider prohibiting such Third Party Provider’s use of, and/or access to, the DCI Services and Services Information for any purpose other than to the extent necessary to provide such Third Party Provider’s services to Subscriber. Subscriber shall ensure its Third Party Provider complies with DCI’ technical specifications and access and security requirements, as same are updated from time to time. If, and when, using a Third Party Provider to access (such as, for example, and not limited to, a third party link to the DCI Services), transmit requests for, or receive the DCI Services and/or Services Information, Subscriber authorizes such Third Party Provider to act on Subscriber’s behalf as a third-party intermediary, including, as applicable, transmittal to DCI of Subscriber’s user credentials and other required authentication information. Certain features and/or functionality and searches and/or reports may not be available to Subscriber within the DCI Services when accessing the DCI Services via a third party platform, application or interface. DCI is not responsible for errors in configuration, authentication, and/or provisioning by any Third Party Provider used by Subscriber. Subscriber shall be solely liable for, and indemnify DCI with respect to, any of its, Permitted Users’, Third Party Provider’s, actions or omissions, including, but not limited to, any misappropriation or other compromise of DCI ID’s and/or passwords, any misappropriation and/or unauthorized disclosure of DCI Services and/or Services Information, any security/data breaches (as defined by applicable law), or any misuse of the DCI Services and/or Services Information in violation of this Agreement or applicable law. Subscriber shall fully cooperate with DCI in mitigating any damages due to any misappropriation or unauthorized use or disclosure of any DCI Services or Services Information. Such cooperation shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, allowing DCI to participate in the investigation of the cause and extent of such misappropriation and/or unauthorized use or disclosure. Such cooperation shall not relieve Subscriber of any liability it may have as a result of such a misappropriation and/or unauthorized use or disclosure. Subscriber agrees, that to the extent any such unauthorized use, unauthorized disclosure, misappropriation, or other event is due to Subscriber’s (including, without limitation, its employee’s, or Third Party Provider’s) negligence, intentional wrongful conduct, or breach of this Agreement, Subscriber shall be responsible for any required consumer, public and/or other notifications, and all costs associated therewith; provided however, that other than except to the extent required to comply with applicable law, Subscriber shall make no public notification, including but not limited to press releases or consumer notifications, of the potential or actual occurrence of such misappropriation and/or unauthorized disclosure without DCI’ prior written consent, and, with respect to any such notifications required by law, Subscriber shall not use any DCI trade name, trademark, service mark, logo, in any such notifications without the prior written approval of DCI. Furthermore, Subscriber understands and agrees that its Permitted Users and/or Third Party Providers shall not be entitled as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise, to take any action or have any recourse against DCI in respect of any claim based upon any actual or alleged failure to perform under this Agreement.
19. Conflict
If there is a conflict between the terms of the documents constituting the Agreement, the order of precedence is as follows, unless expressly agreed otherwise by DCI and Subscriber: Pricing Supplement, Terms and Conditions, then Subscriber Agreement. To the extent that any DCI Services rely upon or use information from any third-party sources, then those sources shall be intended third-party beneficiaries with all rights and privileges of DCI. DCI, and any such sources (as intended third-party beneficiaries), are entitled to enforce the Subscriber Agreement directly against Subscriber.
20. Governing Law; Venue
The Subscriber Agreement and these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by Delaware law, without reference to its choice of law rules.

21. Survival

The Subscriber Agreement and the license granted hereunder may not be assigned, transferred, or sublicensed by Subscriber, in whole or in part.
23. Severability
