USE OF SYSTEM

1. These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the System.
2. Subject to these Terms and Conditions, Provider hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the System to obtain ID Verification Reports in accordance with the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
3. You will provide each Authorized User with an Authentication ID. You shall control and maintain the security of the Authentication IDs and you shall be responsible for all instructions, commitments and other actions or communications taken under each Authentication ID. You shall promptly report to Provider any errors or irregularities in the System or any unauthorized use and inform Provider immediately if an Authentication ID becomes known to any unauthorized person.
4. You agree:

   a) not to sell, lease, transfer, provide or otherwise make available the System or any portion of the System to any third party, whether as a demonstration or otherwise;

   b) not to take any action whatsoever to access, store, merge, aggregate, compile, decompile, manipulate, copy, reverse engineer, create derivative products, derive the source code, sublicense, sell, distribute, commercially exploit,  frame, mirror, scrape or data-mine the System or any content in any form or by any means, and you will not attempt to access any restricted areas of the System;

   c) not to develop a product that will compete with the System;

   d) to be responsible for all actions taken by you, and all communications made by you, while you access the System;

   e) to comply with all laws that apply or may apply to your access of the System, including Privacy Laws;

   f) to ensure that all devices used by yourself to access and use the System are placed in a secure location, and that such devices are secured when not in use through such means as screen locks or shutting power controls off;

   g) you will not share your Authentication ID with anyone including your staff and associates;

   h) you will not use the System for personal (non-business), improper or unlawful purposes;

5. a) The System has a search function that allows Authorized Users to search for ID Verification Reports generated by other organizations for which they have been granted access. This search function is in addition to the ability of an Authorized User to search for ID Verification Reports that have been generated by their Organization. The ability to search for ID Verification Reports generated by other organizations is turned off by default, but an Administrator may turn it on so that Authorized Users in the Organization can search for ID Verification Reports generated by other organizations for which they have been granted access by the other organization. If the ability to search for ID Verification Reports generated by other organizations is turned on you agree to:

   i. only search for ID Verification Reports that relate directly to transactions you are contemplating, or have entered in to, and for which you have consent to receive from the individual to whom the ID Verification Report relates; and,

   ii. use the ID Verification Reports you obtain as a result of a search only for the purpose of satisfying your KYC requirements, determining whether you want to enter into a transaction or to complete a transaction you have already entered into.

   b) The System also has a sharing function that allows your Organization to make ID Verification Reports generated by Authorized Users in your Organization available to specific authorized users in other organizations. This requires providing access to the ID Verification Report to other organizations. The sharing of ID Verification Reports generated by your Organization is turned off by default, but an Administrator can turn it on so that ID Verification Reports generated by your Organization can be accessed by other organizations. You agree that you will not sell, lease, transfer, provide or otherwise make available an ID Verification Report to any third party other than the individual whose identity is being verified, whether as a demonstration or otherwise, other than through the sharing function in the System and only to the other organizations that have a legitimate interest in having access to the report.

6. If you are an Administrator, in addition to all other tasks and obligations imposed on you by these Terms and Conditions you agree to:

   a) assign, record and control the issuance and use of all Authentication IDs within your Organization, keeping the same Authentication IDs confidential except to those who are permitted to use them;

   b) without delay, disable any Authentication ID and notify Provider immediately if Provider determines an Authentication ID issued by you has been provided to a person who is not an Authorized User or ceases to be an Authorized User. You shall also, in compliance with law, notify the individuals whose information was potentially accessed or acquired that an unauthorized use has occurred;

   c) ensure your Organization complies, at all times, with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements and with the policies of the Reliable Sources in respect of the use of the System, including:

   https://www.equifax.com/terms/ and

   Terms and Conditions

   d) ensure that all devices used by Authorized Users to order or access the System are accessible only by the Authorized User, and that such devices are secured when not in use through such means as screen locks, shutting power controls off, or other commercially reasonable security procedures;

   e) implement secure authentication practices when providing Authentication IDs to Authorized Users, including but not limited to: (i) using individually assigned email addresses and not shared e-mail accounts; (ii) prohibiting the sharing of Authentication IDs; and (iii) use of anti-malware, anti-spam, and similar controls;

   f) confirm your Organization has effective administrative, technological, and physical safeguards in place to stop theft, loss and unauthorized access, copying, modification, use, disclosure, or disposal of information that are consistent with industry best practices;

   g) respect all applicable Privacy Laws including any requirements of notification or declaration in relation to a Data Breach or incident of confidentiality as required by the applicable legislation;

   h) educate Authorized Users with respect to Privacy Laws and policies and take reasonable steps to ensure compliance through training, confidentiality agreements and sanctions, as needed;

   i) ensure Authorized Users who are fired, resign or whose association with your Organization is otherwise terminated return to you, or securely dispose of, all Confidential Information and terminate their access to the System;

   j) monitor compliance with the obligations of these Terms and Conditions, and immediately notify the Provider if you suspect or know of any unauthorized access or attempt to access the System. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree that on at least a quarterly basis you will review the use of the System to ensure that such uses were performed for a legitimate business purpose and in compliance with all terms and conditions herein;

   k) maintain and enforce data destruction procedures to protect the security and confidentiality of the Confidential Information and all other information obtained through the System as it is being destroyed or deleted when you or your Organization no longer has a need to keep it; and,

   l) put in place procedures and protocols that ensure no one in your Organization uploads to, distributes to, or otherwise disseminates through the System any material or information of any kind that is libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, or otherwise violates any law or infringes or violates any rights of any other person or entity (including any intellectual property or other property rights), or that contain viruses, backdoors or any other harmful or malicious code.
