3. The Products

The Products consist of the products described on the Sites and include, but are not limited to, all products provided on a recurring, paid subscription basis (“Subscription Products”), or as a one-time transaction (“Transactional Products”).

Your debit or credit card (including, if applicable, as automatically updated by your card provider following expiration or change in account number) will continue to be charged each month at the applicable monthly rate unless and until you cancel the Subscription Products.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or we have reason to believe that such information is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, we reserve the right to terminate your subscription or void your transaction.
You agree not to impersonate another person or to select a user name or password of another person. You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account and of any loss, theft, or disclosure of your password.

Both SC and ST show the possible effects of a single variable on your credit scores, whereas your actual credit scores are determined by factoring in multiple variables simultaneously.

Neither SC nor ST factor in the effect of data discrepancies or changes that may occur to the data used to determine your actual credit scores, due to circumstances beyond your control.

27. FCRA Disclosures

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IT MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL AND/OR STATE LAW FOR YOU TO OBTAIN A CREDIT REPORT ON ANY PERSON OTHER THAN YOURSELF, AND THAT UNDER THE FCRA, ANY PERSON WHO KNOWINGLY AND WILLFULLY OBTAINS INFORMATION ON A CONSUMER FROM A CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCY UNDER FALSE PRETENSES SHALL BE FINED UNDER TITLE 18, UNITED STATES CODE, IMPRISONED FOR NOT MORE THAN TWO YEARS, OR BOTH. The FCRA allows you to obtain a copy of all of the information in your consumer credit file disclosure from consumer reporting agencies for a reasonable charge. A full disclosure of information in your file at the three national credit repositories must be obtained directly from the repositories by contacting:

Experian: 1-888-397-3742
Equifax: 1-800-685-1111
TransUnion: 1-800-916-8800

The FCRA also states that individuals are entitled to receive a disclosure directly from the consumer reporting agency free of charge under the following circumstances:

You certify in writing that you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the 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 consumer reporting agency contains inaccurate information due to fraud.
You have been denied credit, insurance, or employment within the past 60 days as a result of your consumer report.

The FCRA also permits consumers to dispute inaccurate information in their consumer report without charge. Accurate information cannot be changed. You do not have to purchase your consumer report from the Sites to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in your credit file maintained by the CRA Repositories.

The FCRA allows consumers to get one free comprehensive disclosure of all the information in their credit file from each of the Repositories once every 12 months through a central source. Although comprehensive, the credit reports from each of the Repositories that are available through the Sites may not have the same information as a credit report obtained directly from the Repositories or through the central source. To request your free annual report under the FCRA, you must go to www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228. Credit reports available through the Sites are not related to the free FCRA disclosure that you are, or may be, entitled to.

The credit report you are requesting from the Company through the Sites is not intended to constitute the disclosure of Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion information required by the FCRA or similar state laws. Consumers may have additional rights to receive free or reduced-cost credit reports based on applicable state law.

28. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT VANTAGESCORE:

VantageScore 3.0, with scores ranging from 300 to 850, is a user-friendly credit score model developed by the three major nationwide credit reporting agencies, Experian®, TransUnion®, and Equifax®. VantageScore 3.0 is used by some, but not all, lenders. Higher scores represent a greater likelihood that you’ll pay back your debts, so you are viewed as being a lower credit risk to lenders. A lower score indicates to lenders that you may be a higher credit risk.

There are three different major credit reporting agencies, Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax that maintain a record of your credit history known as your credit file. Credit scores are based on the information in your credit file at the time it is requested. Your credit file information can vary from agency to agency because some lenders report your credit history to only one or two of the agencies. So your credit scores can vary if the information they have on file for you is different. Since the information in your file can change over time, your credit scores also may be different from day to day. Different credit scoring models can also give a different assessment of the credit risk (risk of default) for the same consumer and same credit file.

There are different credit scoring models which may be used by lenders and insurers. Your lender may not use VantageScore 3.0, so don’t be surprised if your lender gives you a score that’s different from your VantageScore. (Your VantageScore 3.0 may differ from your score under other types of VantageScores.) Just remember that your associated risk level is often the same even if the number is not. For some consumers however, the risk assessment of VantageScore 3.0 could vary, sometimes substantially, from a lender’s score. If the lender’s score is lower than your VantageScore 3.0, it is possible that this difference can lead to higher interest rates and sometimes credit denial.

29. Not a Credit Repair Organization or Contract

We may offer access to your credit report and other credit information through one or more of the Products. Neither we nor the Providers are credit repair organizations, and neither we nor the Providers are 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 any of the credit reports, the Sites, or the Products in order to do so. Accurate adverse information in 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 Repository, and follow the appropriate procedures for notifying the Repository that you believe your credit report contains an inaccuracy. Any information provided to you regarding the procedures followed by the various Repositories related to the removal of inaccurate, non-fraudulent information is available for free.

30. Miscellaneous Terms

These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and us relating to the Sites and the Products and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to the Sites and the Products and any other subject matter covered by these Terms and Conditions. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right under, or provision of, these Terms and Conditions will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms and Conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms and Conditions will remain in full force and effect.

These Terms and Conditions may be assigned by us and will inure to the benefit of our successors, assignees, and licensees.

In the event of cancellation, termination, or cessation for any reason of your membership in any of the Products, the introductory paragraph of this Agreement, sections 1-4, and 16-30 of these Terms and Conditions will survive. In the event of a conflict between any other notice, policy, disclaimer, or other term contained in this website, these Terms and Conditions will control. If any provision is deemed to be unlawful or unenforceable, it will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
