2. Membership and Payment Terms

Sontiq can only provide certain products and services to those individuals who are either U.S. or Canadian citizens or residents while other products and services may be available to residents of specific countries outside of North America as specifically made available on the Site. Depending upon the membership or other services you enroll in, register for, or otherwise sign up for or subscribe to use (collectively, “enroll”), we may permit you to be enrolled: (i) by telephone, (ii) at our Site, (iii) by some other method we expressly permit, or (iv) by a third party who is authorized to enroll you on your behalf (collectively, the “Enrollment Process”). If your membership is paid for by a third party, you will not be asked to provide payment information and you will not be charged for the membership program you enroll in. Otherwise, Sontiq will charge the membership fee and each renewal fee to your credit card or bank account, at the then prevailing rate and your membership will continue automatically. Sontiq will charge this membership fee to the credit card or bank account that was most recently used on the Site or otherwise provided at the time of registration. By submitting your credit card or bank account information to us, you hereby agree that you authorize us to charge your card or your bank account, as applicable, at our convenience but in any event within thirty (30) days of initial credit card or bank account authorization and thereafter automatically within thirty (30) days after each renewal date. Should your credit card or online check fail to authorize, you will be notified via email to the email address provided to us by you. The benefits of your membership (including, without limitation, online credit reports and monitoring alerts) may be suspended until payment is received. If payment is not received within thirty (30) days, any previous alerts you have received may be purged from our database, and your membership may be cancelled. You agree that Sontiq will not be liable to you or any third party for termination of your membership or access to the Site.

Subscription Term & Termination

Except in the event of a trial offer, your subscription will commence as of the date your payment for a subscription is received by Sontiq. Your subscription will continue in full force for the length of the term you specifically purchased or on a month-to-month term until such time as you cancel the subscription as further explained below (the “Subscription Term”). In the event that you cancel a subscription in the middle of your Subscription Term, you will be entitled to receive a refund for the unused portion of the remainder of that Subscription Term. Sontiq will have the right, upon written notice to you, to terminate this Agreement, and suspend your access to your subscription, if: (a) you fail to pay Sontiq any amount due to Sontiq under this Agreement; and/or (b) you materially breach any term or condition of this Agreement. Sontiq shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and suspend your access to your subscription with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days written notice to you in which case you will no longer be charged for access to the subscription. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, your access to, and use of, your subscription will terminate.

Trial Period/Promotional Offerings

We may offer promotional trial subscriptions to access the Site for a limited time or at special discounted prices. If you sign up for a trial use, your rights to use the Site are limited by the terms of such trial and will terminate or renew on the terms of your trial arrangement and/or any applicable Additional Terms. Please be aware that when you sign up for a trial period, you will be required to provide your credit card number and Sontiq will confirm your credit card is valid. When we process your credit card, some credit card companies may place a temporary hold on your account for your first payment. Please contact your credit card company if you have questions. Please note that we do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price drop or promotional offering.

ONCE YOUR TRIAL PERIOD ENDS, WE, OR A THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR ON OUR BEHALF, WILL BEGIN BILLING YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING BASIS FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (PLUS ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF YOUR TRIAL PERIOD. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANCELING YOUR MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTION ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. PLEASE NOTE THAT, DEPENDING ON YOUR METHOD OF PAYMENT USED, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE FROM US THAT YOUR TRIAL PERIOD HAS ENDED OR THAT THE PAID PORTION OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION HAS BEGUN. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR TERMINATE TRIAL PERIOD AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT NOTICE AND IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

Communications with Credit Reporting Agencies

As a condition to purchasing any products, services or membership packages from Sontiq, you agree to authorize us to act as agent on your behalf and in your name for all purposes in communications and other dealings with any credit bureau to the extent necessary for Sontiq to deliver the products, services or packages purchased by you. The communications and other dealings may involve, amongst other things, placing a fraud alert on your credit file and opting out of marketing list sales where applicable and available in your local jurisdiction

Auto-Renewal of Membership

Certain memberships as indicated at the time of purchase, such as monitoring products and identity theft insurance will automatically renew at the end of your Subscription Term continuously and indefinitely without action by the member, and the membership fee is charged to the member at the time of renewal. An enrollee whose membership fee has been paid is entitled to all privileges included in the membership until the membership is cancelled by the enrolled member as set forth in the paragraph below. By providing your payment method information for your subscription, you are agreeing to pay a subscription fee, that will automatically renew, at the then current rate, unless you cancel prior to the expiration of the current Subscription Term, and any applicable taxes and service fees (collectively, “Fees”). The Fees will be charged to your original payment method automatically at the beginning of your Subscription Term, and at the beginning of each renewal Subscription Term thereafter on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your current Subscription Term, unless you cancel your subscription or your account is suspended or terminated pursuant to this Agreement. The renewal Subscription Term will be the same length as your initial Subscription Term unless otherwise disclosed to you at the time of sale. The rate for the renewal Subscription Term will be the then current subscription-rate. The Fees charged to your payment method may vary from Subscription Term to Subscription Term due to changes in your subscription plan or applicable taxes, and you authorize Sontiq to charge your payment method for these amounts. Sontiq reserves the right to change the pricing of subscription at any time. In the event of a price change, Sontiq will post the new pricing on the Site and attempt to notify you in advance by sending an email to the address you have registered for your account. You agree that we may change the pricing we charge you for your subscription and any products/services offered in your subscription package by providing you with notice through an electronic communication from us and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You consent to our ability to change our pricing and the details of our subscription packages through an electronic communication to you. If you do not wish to accept a price or subscription package change made by us, you may cancel your subscription as described below, otherwise you will be deemed to have consented to the price/subscription package change and authorize Sontiq to charge the new Fees to your payment method. If there are any discrepancies in billing, you hereby waive your right to dispute such discrepancies if you do not notify Sontiq within sixty (60) days after they first appear on an account statement.

All prices displayed are quoted in U.S. dollars. Prior to the purchase of any products or services from us, you must provide us with a valid credit card number and associated payment information including all of the following: (i) your name as it appears on the card, (ii) your credit card number, (iii) the credit card type, (iv) the date of expiration, and (v) any activation numbers or codes needed to charge your card.

You agree to keep all personal information updated and accurate. In the event we do not receive all the required personal information during your Enrollment Process, you agree that we may, in our sole discretion, use our database, the database of our affiliates, or other resources to attempt to complete the required personal information on your behalf. If we are unable to obtain the required personal information or you fail to authenticate your identity as may be required, the services for which you have enrolled or registered from us may be limited.

Methods of Payment, Credit Card Terms and Taxes

All payments must be made using a payment card such as Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card, and you must refer to that agreement and not these Terms to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. You represent and warrant that you will not use any credit card or other form of payment unless you have all necessary legal authorization to do so. YOU, AND NOT Sontiq, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY UNAUTHORIZED AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY. You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your purchases (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. Unless you notify Sontiq of any discrepancies within sixty (60) days after they first appear on your credit card statement, you agree that they will be deemed accepted by you for all purposes. If Sontiq does not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by Sontiq or its agents. Sales taxes, or other taxes, customs, import/export charges, or similar governmental charges are not included in the price of the products. You are responsible for paying any such taxes or charges imposed on your purchases, including, but not limited to, sales, use or value-added taxes. Sontiq shall automatically charge and/or withhold the applicable tax for orders in any states or localities that it deems is required in accordance with our order policy in effect at the time of purchase.

Refund Policy

All purchase transactions made through the Site are subject to Sontiq’s refund policy in effect at the time of purchase. Currently, Sontiq’s refund policy is that in the event that you cancel a subscription in the middle of your Subscription Term, you will be entitled to receive a refund for the unused portion of the remainder of that Subscription Term.

Order Acceptance Policy

Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. Sontiq reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. Sontiq further reserves the right any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item. Your order will be deemed accepted by Sontiq after you sign-up and accept this Agreement. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that, if we cancel all or a portion of your order or if we provide you less than the quantity you ordered, your sole and exclusive remedy is either that: (a) we will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount charged for the cancelled portion or the quantity not provided (if your credit card has already been charged for the order); or (b) we will not charge your credit card for the cancelled portion of the order or the quantity not provided. Do not assume that a cancellation or change of an order you have placed with Sontiq is effective until you receive a confirmation from Sontiq via email or the Site. As stated above, you will be responsible for, and your credit card or third-party payment account may be charged for, the payment of all fees associated with orders already processed or shipped before your cancellation/change request or a request to terminate your account was received.

No Responsibility to Sell Mispriced Products or Services

We do our best to describe every item, product or service offered on this Site as accurately as possible. However, we are human, and therefore we do not warrant that specifications or pricing on the Site is complete, accurate, reliable, current, or error-free. In the event of any errors relating to the pricing or specifications of any item, product or service, Sontiq shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders in its sole discretion. If we charged your credit card or other account prior to cancellation, we will issue a credit to your account in the amount of the charge. Additional terms may apply.

Modification to Prices or Billing Terms

The purchase of products and services on the Site is subject to availability. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DISPLAYED ON THE SITE MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES AND MAY BE SUBSTITUTED OR DISCONTINUED AT ANY TIME. SONTIQ RESERVES THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, TO CHANGE ITS PRICES AND BILLING METHODS FOR SERVICES SOLD, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING ON THE SITE OR BY E-MAIL DELIVERY TO YOU.

12. Dispute Resolution and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS

A. Disputes Subject to Arbitration. Sontiq and the member agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between and among them, including, but not limited to:

claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between Sontiq and the member, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
claims that arose before this or any prior agreement between Sontiq and the member (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising or disclosures of Sontiq); and
claims that may arise after the termination of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sontiq and member may bring an individual action in small claims court, provided that it seeks relief that does not affect other members or customers of Sontiq.

Any dispute as to the arbitrability of claims or the scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision, or as to the interpretation of Section 12(B) below, is for the court to decide. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section of the Agreement. This arbitration provision contained in this Section of the Agreement shall survive termination of the agreement between us.

B. Starting the Dispute-Resolution Process. A party (i.e., Sontiq or the member) who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Dispute Notice”). The Notice to Sontiq should be sent to the address provided in Section 14 of this Agreement. The Dispute Notice must: (i) provide the member’s mailing address, phone number, and account name (if any); (ii) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). Thereafter, Sontiq and the member shall confer in good faith to attempt to resolve the claim or dispute. If Sontiq and the member do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim or dispute within forty-five (45) days after the Dispute Notice is received, the member or Sontiq may commence an arbitration proceeding with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”).

C. Costs of Arbitration. Sontiq will pay all JAMS filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration we initiate. The payment of those fees for any arbitration that the member initiates will be governed by the JAMS’ streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. However, if you initiate an arbitration in accordance with the notice requirements of Section 12(B) and are seeking relief valued at $500US or less (both to the member and Sontiq), Sontiq will pay all JAMS filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. If the member’s claim is for greater than $500US but less than $10,000US, Sontiq will pay all such fees in excess of $20US. After Sontiq receives a notice that the member has commenced an arbitration, Sontiq will promptly reimburse the member for any portion of the filing fee that the member paid that Sontiq has agreed to pay.

If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the member’s claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all JAMS filing, administration, and arbitrator fees shall be governed by the JAMS Rules, and the member agrees to reimburse Sontiq for any amounts it paid on to JAMS on the member’s behalf.

D. Arbitration Procedures. The arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this arbitration provision. The arbitration will be governed by the JAMS’ streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (collectively, “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this arbitration provision. JAMS shall administer the arbitration. If JAMS is unavailable, the arbitration will be administered by another arbitration provider that the parties agree to or that the court selects.

Unless Sontiq and the member otherwise agree, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of the member’s residence at the time of the filing of the Demand with JAMS. If the member brings a claim for $10,000US or less, we agree that the member may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules. If the member’s claim exceeds $10,000US, the right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Rules.

Arbitrators shall be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same customer to the extent required by applicable law.

Unless the parties agree otherwise, Sontiq and the member must bring all directly related claims in a single arbitration proceeding. If Sontiq or the member later initiate a subsequent arbitration asserting claims that are directly related to ones that were raised in a prior arbitration between the same parties, JAMS or the arbitrator shall either: (i) consolidate the subsequent arbitration with the earlier proceeding if it is ongoing; or (ii) dismiss any claims raised in the subsequent arbitration that would be barred by applicable law if brought in court.

Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Although under some laws Sontiq may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in an arbitration, Sontiq agrees that it will not seek such an award unless the member is represented by an attorney and the arbitrator has determined that the member’s claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

E. Prohibition of Class or Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. Sontiq AND THE MEMBER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR PARTICIPANT IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. Further, unless both Sontiq and the member agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class, representative, or private attorney general proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award, so long as the relief is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other Sontiq members or customers. Neither Sontiq nor the member may seek non-individualized relief that would affect other Sontiq members or customers. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

F. Future Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Sontiq makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the address in the Notice Section, website links, or telephone numbers outlined in this Agreement), any such changes will not affect disputes that arose before the effective date of the change.
