4.1 General Disclaimer and Acknowledgement.
(a) Disclaimer of Services. IDIQ is not a credit reporting agency, credit repair organization, credit repair company, credit repair service provider, broker or advisor. We do not provide legal, tax, financial, or credit management advice. The information or products we provide are not intended as such advice. We do not represent, and specifically disclaim, that the information we provide will actually or potentially improve or repair your credit profile or credit score. We advise you to seek the services of a competent and professionally licensed provider in connection with credit repair or credit improvement assistance.
(b) Plan Features. Service Plans are offered on a package basis and some Features within a Service Plan may not be appropriate or offered for all users. While users are not required to utilize every Feature available in a Service Plan, the decision to use or not use a Feature will not impact the price for the Service Plan.
(c) Utilization of Third-Party Providers. Some Features are provided by third-party providers. If you elect to use third-party provided Feature, you understand that IDIQ is not responsible for how such provider protects your personal information. IDIQ is not responsible for the information processing activities by third parties, including their efforts to protect and secure your personal information. For absolute clarity, once you release your personal information to a third party, there are no controls, security or protections that IDIQ controls with that third party, and you will need to assure yourself that such third party will handle your Information properly as you desire. To that extent, the use of this Feature and the sharing of your Information is completely at your risk. Additional terms may apply to your enrollment in any third-party provided service.
4.2 Credit Services Generally. Credit Services may include, among other things, the ability to (i) access your credit report(s) from one or more credit bureaus, (ii) obtain Credit Scores (defined below) derived from your credit report data, (iii) obtain monitoring of selected credit data from your credit report and (iv) receive alerts regarding your credit information. Your enrollment in a Service Plan with Credit Services is dependent on the applicable credit bureau’s ability to find your credit data in their records using the personal information you provide to IDIQ and successfully authenticating your identity during enrollment. If the applicable credit bureau(s) cannot find some or all your credit data, then the Credit Services may be incomplete or, in some cases, not available. THIS NOTICE IS REQUIRED BY LAW. Read more at FTC.GOV. You have the right to a free credit report from AnnualCreditReort.com or 877-322-8228, the only authorized source under federal law. Take me to the authorized source.
4.3 Authorization to Obtain Credit Information. By requesting IDIQ provide you with Credit Information, you understand and agree, and hereby authorize, IDIQ to request and receive information about you from third parties, including but not limited to a copy of your consumer credit report and score from consumer reporting agencies, at any time for so long as you have an active User Account with IDIQ. You further authorize IDIQ to retain a copy of your information for use in accordance with this Agreement and our Privacy Policy. You authorization constitutes “written instructions” in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and other applicable law. Credit reports provided from IDIQ are not intended to constitute the disclosure of Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion information required by the FCRA or similar state laws.
4.4 Credit Scores. Credit Services may include access to your personal credit score(s) or for our business service plans, your business credit score(s) from a third-party provider such as FICO®, VantageScore® or others (each, a “Credit Score Provider”). Credit scores are available in the marketplace using many types of mathematical models. These models generally calculate a score based on information found in your personal credit report data file or for our business credit plans, your business credit report file at the date and time the report data is accessed (a “Credit Score”). IDIQ does not have its own model to determine your Credit Score, but, rather, obtains your Credit Score from Credit Score Providers. Each Credit Score Provider has its own proprietary model(s) for calculating your Credit Score and thus Credit Scores may differ based on the model(s) used. More information about the Credit Score Providers and your Credit Scores available in IDIQ’s Credit Services (such as FICO®, or VantageScore ®) can be found on our Website(s). When you use Offerings to access your Credit Score(s), you agree and understand that; (i) your Credit Scores may be stored and accessible for a limited time, (ii) your Credit Scores may not be available to you after you cancel your Subscription, and (iii) IDIQ is not responsible for the information, accuracy or content used to create your Credit Score.
4.5 Credit Monitoring. The Credit Monitoring feature generally monitors a subscriber’s credit bureau data files for key changes and alerts the subscriber to those changes. In some cases, you may need to manually activate this feature. If a monitored event occurs, IDIQ will attempt to electronically alert you by email and/or text. A more detailed report associated with the Credit Monitoring alert may be available in your User Account. By agreeing to these Terms, you acknowledge that not all changes will be monitored including some that may involve the potential for fraudulent use of your identity or credit. The type of Credit Monitoring we provide to you may change from time to time.
4.6 Credit Score Simulations. Credit Score Credit Score Simulations are hypothetical; they do not predict or guarantee that your actual score will rise or drop to the simulated score, nor do they guarantee that you will be approved or rejected for credit by any financial institution. Actual results may differ. Entering data into the simulator does not affect your actual credit score.
4.7 Other Self-Help Features and Simulators. We make available certain interactive self-help tools (“Tools”) in some Service Plans, including, for example, “IQAlerts”, “Synthetic ID Theft”, “ScoreTracker”, and “ScoreCasterIQ™”. These Tools are provided by third parties not affiliated with IDIQ. The information displayed from these Tools is based on point-in-time data and may not necessarily be representative of recent occurrences such as bankruptcy, foreclosure, late payments, new accounts or other matters which may potentially impact your Credit Score and the accuracy or outcome of Tools. Nor do these Tools consider your unique personal financial situation. All Tools results project hypothetical outcomes and do not predict, forecast, or guarantee any outcome.
4.8 Identity Protection Monitoring. Identify Protection Services may include one or more types of identity protection monitoring (“Protection Monitoring”). Depending on your Service Plan’s Features such Protection Monitoring may include monitoring of criminal records, dark web, social security number, change of address loan applications or other activities tied to your personal information that could signal a possibility of credit fraud or identity theft. In some cases, you may need to manually activate your Protection Monitoring Services. Protection Monitoring may be provided to you through third party providers. If a monitored event occurs, we will attempt to electronically alert you by email and/or text. A more detailed report associated with the alert may be available in your User Account. Notwithstanding any Protection Monitoring, by agreeing to these Service Terms, you acknowledge that IDIQ cannot monitor for all the possible ways your identity could be breached, and that Protection Monitoring cannot identify all the potential ways that your identity or credit could be fraudulently accessed or used. You further agree and acknowledge that the type(s) of Protection Monitoring we provide to you may change from time to time.
4.9 Identity Protection Insurance. Identity Protection Insurance covers for certain losses in accordance with the identity theft insurance coverage you purchase as part of a Service Plan. Not all Service Plans contain Identity Protection Insurance. The Insurance may also extend this coverage to some of your immediate family members up the limit of the coverage. You may be able to add family members beyond the insurance limit at an additional cost. Identity theft insurance is provided solely through a licensed third-party insurer. All insurance service claims, and specific insurance customer service will be provided through the third-party insurance provider. To file a claim, contact IDIQ customer service at the number provided on the applicable Website where you maintain your User Account. The customer service agent will provide you with contact information to the third-party insurance provider where you can file your claim. If your Plan includes identity theft insurance, you agree to such insurance coverage and that the premium for such insurance coverage will be paid by us on your behalf. You agree to receive notices of insurance changes electronically.
4.10 Identity Restoration Service Assistance. Your Service Plan may include access to an IDIQ Identity Theft Restoration Specialist and/or for a business credit plan a third-party business identity theft restoration specialist such as Experian® (“Identity Restoration Specialist”). The Identity Theft Restoration Specialist is available to answer questions about identity theft monitoring alerts and questions about handling identity theft events within the limits of the Service Plan you purchased. In some cases, your Service Plan may offer the option for you to provide IDIQ with a Limited Power of Attorney (“LPOA”) to authorize and permit IDIQ and your assigned Identity Restoration Specialist to execute routine related identity restoration tasks that may be associated with an identity theft event (“Event”) such as contacting your creditors, providing notification of your Event or requesting the issuance of a new credit card to you. If your Service Plan includes Services pursuant to an LPOA you will be required to enter into other agreements in connection with the LPOA and its uses. Creditors, banks and other entities we attempt to contact in pursuant to an LPOA on your behalf may have their own policy and may not recognize or accept the LPOA. In such cases, IDIQ will be unable to perform any LPOA related Services on your behalf with such third party. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO UTILIZE AN LPOA AS PART OF OUR IDENTITY RESTORATION SERVICES. See the LPOA agreement for further details, disclosures, and instructions as available.
4.11 Bitdefender® Cybersecurity. Bitdefender is a software security which, if included in your Service Plan may include anti-virus software, internet security software, endpoint security software, and other cybersecurity products and services. To access, download and use this Feature, you will be required to agree to a separate “end user license agreement”. If you do not agree to end user license agreement, you will not be able to use this Feature.
4.12 Data Breach Services. Some benefits afforded under our DataBreachIQ Service Plans, including security awareness training, cyber security coverage, notification services, call-center services, and contracted services, are provided by third parties. Insurance is provided solely through a licensed third-party insurer. All insurance service claims, and specific insurance customer service will be provided through the third-party insurance provider.
4.13 Business Credit Plans. For members who own a business, IDIQ may make available one or more business credit related features within your personal active IDIQ Service Plan. The Business Credit Plan may consist of but is not limited to business credit reports from one or more sources, business credit scores from or more sources, business credit monitoring and more. Features commonly available in non-business plans may not be available or may not apply to Business Credit Plans. Businesses do not have the same rights as individuals under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
4.14 Family Protection & Children’s Services. Features which provide services for children under the age of eighteen (“Children’s Features”) require enrollment by the Minor’s parent or legal guardian. Minors are not permitted to enroll in, subscribe to, or otherwise use any of IDIQ’s Offerings. To enroll in Children’s Features and receive details on a child’s information, the legal guardian must provide guardianship. Passing the one-time guardianship process is contingent on the guardian supplying a federal or court produced document proving such relationship. The legal guardian will receive an active child’s reports, alerts and notifications. A child is no longer considered a minor when the child reaches his/her eighteenth (18th) birthday and is no longer eligible for monitoring services provided by IDIQ.

11. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
11.1 Governing Law. These Terms and the Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
11.2 Initial Dispute Resolution. You agree that before taking any formal legal action under our Agreement, you shall provide written notice to IDIQ of the specific issue(s) in dispute, including reference to the relevant provision(s) of the Terms or our Privacy Policy which are allegedly being breached. Within thirty (30) days after such notice, representatives of each of the parties shall hold at least one meeting (in person or by video- or tele-conference) for the purpose of attempting, in good faith, to resolve the dispute. Notice provided pursuant to this section should be prominently captioned “NOTICE OF CLAIM.” can be provided to IDIQ at:
IDIQ
Attn: Legal
43454 Business Park Drive, Temecula CA 92590
Notice should include both the mailing address and email address you would like IDIQ to use to contact you. Notice should describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific amount of damages or other relief sought.
11.3 Binding Arbitration.
(a) If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution begins under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision set forth in Section 11.2, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to our Agreement (including their formation, performance, and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or use of the IDIQ Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as appropriate (the “JAMS rules”). The JAMS Rules and Forms are available online at www.jamsadr.com
(b) Except as set forth in Section 11.6, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of our Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of JAMS administrative or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment). The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The parties agree that the arbitrator may allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.
(c) Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. You are required to pay JAMS’ initial filing fee, but IDIQ will reimburse you for this filing fee at the conclusion of the arbitration to the extent it exceeded the fee for filing a complaint in a federal or state court in your county of residence or in Riverside County, CA. IDIQ will not seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying under the JAMS Rules unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure).
(d) Any arbitration demand or counterclaim asserted by either party must contain sufficient information to provide fair notice to the other party of the asserting party’s identity, the claims being asserted, and the factual allegations on which they are based, and the arbitrator and/or JAMS may require amendment of any demand or counterclaim that does not satisfy these requirements. The arbitrator has the right to impose sanctions in accordance with JAMS Rules for any claims the arbitrator determines to be frivolous or improper (under the standard set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11).
(e) The parties agree that JAMS has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under the JAMS Rules where it deems appropriate, provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you waive any objection to such fee modification. The parties also agree that a good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by JAMS does not constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Section 12.3 while such challenge remains pending before AAA, the arbitrator, and/or a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f) The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
11.4 Location. Arbitration shall take place in Riverside County, California unless another location is mutually agreed to by the parties.
11.5 Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND IDIQ AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this Section’s limitations as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.
11.6 Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (where “intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights), except that the determination of the intellectual property rights in Feedback shall not be exempt from arbitration. Either party may also elect to have disputes or claims resolved in a small claims court for claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction. Either party may also seek a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party’s claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court in your state and county of residence. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party’s right to arbitration under this Agreement.
11.7 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of its decision to opt-out to the following address: IDIQ, Attn: Human and Business Services, 43454 Business Park Drive, Temecula CA 92590. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your assent to these Terms. Otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of this Section. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, IDIQ also will not be bound by them.
11.8 Changes to this Section. IDIQ will provide 30 days’ notice of any changes to this Section 12; changes will become effective on the 30th day. If you continue to use the IDIQ Services after the 30th day, it agrees that any unfiled claims of which IDIQ does not have actual notice are subject to the revised clause.
11.9 Claims Outside of Arbitration. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and IDIQ agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located in Riverside County, California. You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waives all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.
