TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN SECURID AND SECURID’S CUSTOMERS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR SERVICING BY SECURID

This document is the binding agreement between SecurID ("Provider") and you, referred to as the "Customer." Please take a few moments to read these terms and conditions. By indicating your consent, you are acknowledging that you have read, understand and agree to these terms and conditions. This agreement ("Agreement") identifies what you can expect from Provider, and what Provider can expect from you. These terms and conditions apply to your purchase of any service offered by Provider. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, then there will be no agreement; you will not be permitted to subscribe to Provider’s services, or to continue using the services. The Agreement is as follows:

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE TO BE PROVIDED ("SERVICE")
Provider will, itself or through a third party provider with which Provider will contract:
(a) Request that Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, or other credit bureaus as may become appropriate, place fraud alerts on your consumer reports to the extent permitted by 15 U.S.C. § 1681c-1. Your fraud alert will include up to two telephone numbers provided by you. While you are a Customer, we will attempt to renew these alerts as often as required to keep them active until such time that you notify us that you no longer have a good faith suspicion that you have been or are about to become a victim of fraud or related crime, including identity theft;
(b) Request, to the extent permitted by 15 U.S.C. § 1681b(e), that your name be removed from pre-approved credit card mailing lists;
(c) Request that your name be removed from junk-mail lists by using the opt-out options established by the Direct Marketing Association;
(d) Order, upon your enrollment and once a year thereafter, your free annual credit reports from TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax, or other credit bureau as may become appropriate, as permitted by 15 U.S.C. § 1681j(a). (e) Annually prepare a request to the Social Security Administration for a copy of your Social Security Earnings Report. This request will be forwarded to you, who will then be responsible for its submission to the Social Security Administration.

2. In the event that you are the victim of identity theft while you are a current subscriber in good standing, and someone uses your identity to commit a fraud or theft, we will do the following:
(a) If the identity theft is the result of our failure to perform the activities identified in Paragraph 1 above, then we will be responsible for any unreimbursed losses that you have, up to a maximum of $100,000. However, you will assign to us the right to pursue recovery of those monies from the people responsible, and you will cooperate with us in efforts to work with any creditors, credit card companies, or others who pursue you for such fraudulent debt to make sure that you are not actually charged for such amounts.
(b) If you are our Customer when someone accesses your personal identifying information and subsequently uses it without your authorization to commit a fraud, whether or not it is due to a failure or defect in our Service, and you have complied with this Agreement, we will provide professionals and others to assist in necessary measures or procedures to demonstrate to creditors, vendors and authorities that identify theft has occurred. We will arrange for, and cover the expense of, that assistance to be provided to you through persons or firms we select; we will not reimburse fees of professionals or other service providers unless we choose those providers for your particular matter.
(c) Irrespective of whether you suffer any loss, we will provide you with the professionals, information and services needed to take the measures necessary and appropriate to remedy the identity theft problems. This would include the professional assistance needed, such as an attorney or credit counselor, communications with vendors, credit card companies or other creditors involved.

3. For you to receive the assistance and services identified in Paragraph 2 above, you must do the following:
(a) You must be a current subscriber in good standing with your account payments current at the time of the event.
(b) You must be truthful with us and must tell us as soon as you learn of any unauthorized or fraudulent use of your identity, credit cards or credit, or any actions in that regard without your authorization, within 30 days of first learning of it.
(c) You must cooperate with us and with any professionals or others that we retain to address the problem.
(d) You must assign to us any right you have to be reimbursed for expenses or claims that we take care of, and must cooperate with us in pursuing recovery of those amounts.
(e) You must not have authorized the use of your identity or credit by the person that misused your identity or credit. If we find that you misrepresented damages or misrepresented that you had provided authorization or permission for someone to use your identity, then you agree to pay us back on demand any amount we have paid in connection with your claim, including any costs we incur to collect reimbursement or monies.

4. If we find that you misrepresented damages or misrepresented that you were our Customer when your information was misused, you agree to pay us back upon demand any amount we have paid in connection with your claim, including any costs we incur to collect the money from you. Being found guilty of a crime related to the loss which you attributed to identity theft is sufficient evidence to conclude that we are entitled to recover all amounts paid on your behalf as described above, but it is not the only basis upon which we may so conclude.

5. Renewal: Your account will be automatically renewed for one month or one year, depending on the term you initially select, on the anniversary date of your enrollment. Pricing may change from time to time, and you will be notified in writing of any changes in pricing.

6. Cancellation: There is no long-term commitment with Provider. You can cancel at any time by calling us at 1-866-537-5136 and notifying us of your intention to cancel. If you are an annual subscriber, we will refund any unused amount on a prorated basis.
