Subject to your compliance with these Terms and Conditions and any Database-Specific Terms, Ident will provide your Authorized Users with access to and use of FedCheck Services during your paid-up subscription period (as described below) and within any service usage limits indicated in the Order Form, solely for the purpose of screening individuals for access to the Authorized Facilities in accordance with Ident’s relevant end-user documentation and the Database-Specific Terms. FedCheck Services may be accessed by your Authorized Users only through software provided by either Ident or Partner Service Providers, as defined and as indicated in the Order Form.

3.2 Software License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and Conditions and any Database-Specific Terms, Ident grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, paid-up (for the fees specified in the Order Form), royalty-free license to access FedCheck Services during your paid-up subscription period, limited to the devices, locations and other restrictions contained in the Order Form, solely in connection with your use of FedCheck Services as authorized by your Service Subscription.

3.3 User Registration and Acknowledgement

You agree that we may require, as a condition of any Authorized User’s use of FedCheck Services, that such Authorized User create an individual profile under your account and acknowledge their awareness of, and agreement to abide by, these Terms and Conditions and our standard privacy policy, a current version of which is posted at https://ident.solutions/privacy-policy. This section does not limit any of your responsibilities under these Terms and Conditions, including those pertaining to your Authorized Users.

3.4 Usage Limitations

You agree not to use FedCheck Services for any credit-verification or credit-reporting purposes, or in connection with any hiring or other employment-related actions (other than screening for access to the Authorized Facilities), or to screen individuals or otherwise discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, or disability or on any other unlawful or improper basis.

You acknowledge and agree that FedCheck Siren Data is only an indicator of possible public records which may be of interest to you. FedCheck Siren Data may point to one or more items of public record, but does not identify a specific individual. FedCheck Siren Data may contain names and other identifying information as abstracted from the public record. As only fingerprints can positively identify a unique individual, FedCheck Siren Data does not at any time constitute a communication about a specific individual person.

In addition to these Terms and Conditions, you and your Authorized Users’ rights to access and use FedCheck Services are subject to the relevant Database-Specific Terms and any limitations and restrictions indicated in the Order Form. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between or among any of these documents, the more restrictive terms will govern.

3.6 Availability

We will use reasonable efforts to make FedCheck Services available on a 24/7/365 basis, subject to periodic downtime for scheduled maintenance during non-peak hours; however, the parties recognize that Internet connectivity issues, unavailability of third-party databases and systems, or other factors outside of our reasonable control may limit or restrict this availability from time to time. We will use reasonable efforts to restore service in the event of unplanned unavailability within our control, and to provide you with advance notice of any scheduled unavailability.

3.7 Maintenance and Support

If the Order Form or Ident’s relevant documentation states that you will receive maintenance and/or technical support in connection with FedCheck Services, then (unless otherwise set forth in the Order Form or such Ident documentation): (i) maintenance will consist of access to new features or performance improvements in FedCheck Services if and when Ident makes any such features or improvements generally available to its subscriber base at no additional charge, and (ii) technical support will consist of first-level telephone or email assistance in accordance with Ident’s standard practices and procedures.

4. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBLITIES

4.1 Generally

You retain full responsibility for you and your Authorized Users’ use of FedCheck Services, including how you or they use any information obtained through FedCheck Services, and for any decisions and actions that you or they make or undertake in reliance on FedCheck Services or such information. For clarity, the preceding sentence does not diminish any usage restrictions or limitations set forth in the Agreement. FedCheck Services rely on various sources of data that are compiled or controlled by third parties, and neither we nor they will be liable to you or any other person for any inaccuracy, omission, or other defect in that data or any output based on that data. Furthermore, FedCheck Services provide only indications of possible records that may be of interest to you in connection with screening individuals for access to your Authorized Facility, and you must perform additional steps and exercise your own business judgment to determine how you may and will use such information.

4.2 Compliance

You are solely responsible for ensuring that you and your Authorized Users are aware of and comply with these Terms and Conditions, any Database-Specific Terms, and all laws and regulations that pertain to your use of FedCheck Services or the information made available through FedCheck Services. You represent and warrant that you are knowledgeable as to all federal, state, and local laws and regulations pertaining to your business, operations or intended use of FedCheck Services. We encourage you to consult with legal counsel before using FedCheck Services.

4.3 Additional Responsibilities

Without limiting the foregoing, you are solely responsible for: (i) obtaining appropriate permissions, waivers, and the like from individuals you screen, which must be at least as protective of our and your interests as any template or sample waiver that we may furnish from time to time (in our reasonable discretion and upon reasonable notice to you), it being understood that our templates and samples are not guaranteed to provide sufficient protection or meet all applicable legal requirements, nor do they diminish your ultimate responsibility for these matters, (ii) assigning and revoking all Authorized User and administrator privileges under your account (provided, however, that we may suspend or terminate any individual’s access to FedCheck Services as we deem appropriate to prevent or curtail unauthorized or improper use), (iii) maintaining the confidentiality of any user IDs, passwords and other credentials associated with your account, (iv) all activities that occur with respect to your account, and (v) any Customer-furnished data.

5. FEES AND PAYMENT

5.1 Fees

In consideration for our providing the license and services under the Agreement, you agree to pay us the corresponding fees set forth in the Order Form.

For each subscription Renewal, recurring fees will be billed and paid at the rates specified in the Order Form or, if applicable, such other rates as we may establish with notice to you at least 30 days before the Renewal.

5.3 Excess Usage Fees

Our service plans may include usage limits as indicated in the Order Form or our applicable published documentation. If usage under your account exceeds the applicable limits, we may upgrade you to a higher service plan as needed to cover the additional usage and charge you for the difference in service plan fees at our then-current published rates.

5.4 Billing and Payment

We will bill you in advance at the beginning of the subscription period and each Renewal (and, in the case of excess usage fees, upon upgrading you to a higher service plan). If the Order Form specifies payment by credit card or another method that we can initiate, you authorize us to initiate such payment at that time, and in any case, any invoice not paid within thirty (30) days of the invoice date will be overdue. Overdue amounts will accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, but in no event greater than the highest rate of interest allowed by law.

5.5 Taxes

The fees specified in the Agreement are exclusive of taxes, duties, levies, tariffs, and other governmental charges (including, without limitation, VAT) (collectively, “Taxes”). You will be responsible for payment of all Taxes and any related interest and/or penalties resulting from any payments made hereunder, other than our U.S. federal and state income taxes. Such Taxes will be itemized in the applicable invoice.

6. TERM AND TERMINATION

6.1 Duration and Renewal

Your subscription for FedCheck Services will remain in effect throughout the initial subscription term specified in the Order Form (unless terminated as set forth below), and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration or (if applicable) such other duration as may be specified in the Order Form (each, a “Renewal”)…”] unless either party gives the other party written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days in advance. The Agreement will expire at the end of your subscription as described above.

6.2 Termination

A party may terminate the Agreement for a material breach by the other party that remains uncured more than 30 days after receiving written notice of the breach. In addition, Ident may terminate the Agreement 5 business days following Customer’s receipt of written notice that it is late in paying fees due. We may also terminate upon 30 days’ notice if we become unable to provide FedCheck Services due to unavailability of third-party databases or other causes outside our reasonable control, or if we discontinue FedCheck Services generally; if that occurs, we will provide you with a prorated refund of prepaid fees for the period affected by our termination.

6.3 Effect of Expiration or Termination

Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason, all outstanding fees will immediately become due and payable, your subscription for FedCheck Services will automatically terminate, and you will immediately cease using the same. If requested in writing within 15 days after expiration or termination, we will provide you with an exported copy of the log data then stored under your account. The following provisions will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement: Sections 4, 3.5, 5 (to the extent of any outstanding payment obligations), 6.3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.

As between Ident and Customer, Ident is and will remain the sole owner of FedCheck Services, all software and technologies embodied in or used to provide FedCheck Services, and all intellectual property rights therein or relating thereto. We reserve all rights in the foregoing other than the limited, non-exclusive license and access rights that we expressly grant to you in these Terms and Conditions. If you provide any suggestions or other feedback in relation to our products and services, we will be free to use (or not use) the same without restriction and without any compensation or other obligations to you.

7.2 Your Data

Subject to any underlying rights of individuals from whom you gather information, and of any third-party service providers, licensors, and other entities whose data or databases are queried or used in connection with FedCheck Services, you will have and retain sole ownership and control of: (i) all data that you submit to or through FedCheck Services, and (ii) all query logs and other output of FedCheck Services (collectively, “Your Data”). The parties acknowledge and agree that we will transmit, store, and otherwise process Your Data only as a data processor, and not as a data controller.

7.3 Providers’ Data

Our third-party service providers, licensors, and other entities whose data or databases are queried or used in connection with FedCheck Services retain any rights they may have with respect to such data and databases, as applicable. To the extent, if any, that we transmit, store, or otherwise process any such data, we do so only as a data processor for such third parties, and not as a data controller.

7.4. Our Security Measures

We will employ reasonable and appropriate (and all legally mandated) environmental, safety and facility procedures, data security and backup procedures, and other safeguards to protect against the unauthorized access, use, destruction, corruption, loss or alteration of Your Data as stored or otherwise processed by FedCheck Services. Ident’s data security measures are outlined in more detail in our Data Security Whitepaper, a current version of which is posted at https://ident.solutions/data-security-whitepaper, as the same may be updated from time to time (our “Data Security Whitepaper”). Updates to our Data Security Whitepaper will be furnished to you upon request. We will promptly notify you of any actual or suspected breach of Ident’s security that compromises or is anticipated to compromise Your Data, and we will indemnify you against any third-party claims by the subjects of Your Data to the extent those claims arise from any such security breach that is caused by our negligent or intentional failure to meet the standards or requirements specified in our Data Security Whitepaper.

7.5 Your Security Measures

You agree to limit access to FedCheck Services to only those Authorized Users who have a need to know the output of the same as a part of their official. You must immediately deactivate (or notify us to deactivate) the access credentials of any of Authorized User who has been terminated or who no longer has a need to know. You shall ensure that your Authorized Users keep their access credentials secure and that individual credentials are assigned to and known by no more than one Authorized User. You shall take reasonable and appropriate (and all legally mandated) measures to prevent unauthorized physical or electronic access to FedCheck Services by any unauthorized persons, and to prevent any unlawful access to or use of Your Data. Such measures will include appropriate data destruction policies where applicable. Without limiting the foregoing or any applicable Database-Specific Terms, if you are using a version of FedCheck Services that enable queries of the FBI’s National Crime Information Center, you must comply with all relevant provisions of the most current version of the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy located at https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/cjis-security-policy-resource-center, as may be updated or amended from time to time.
