Identity Defense License and Terms of Service
Last updated: November 16, 2021
Thanks for choosing Identity Defense. First, let’s review the License and Terms of Service according to which we offer the services to you. In this document, we’ll outline in detail what we provide you (our customers), and each of our legal obligations. The terms and conditions contained in this document will be collectively referred to as the “Terms”.
Here is a quick breakdown to make these easier to understand:
When do these terms apply?
These Terms apply to your use of the Identity Defense products or services, including all software provided as a part of our services (the “Software”), whether through the web or a mobile application, or in any other manner (collectively, the “Services”). As such, these Terms apply anytime you (i) create an account in connection with the Services; (ii) download or use any Software in connection with the Services, (iii) use any of the Services via our websites, or (iv) otherwise use the Services or interact with Pango in connection with the Services.
How do you agree to our terms?
You are agreeing to these Terms when you sign up for or use the Services. This means that anytime you access or
use the Services, you are agreeing to the Terms. We encourage you to read our Terms carefully, as they contain
many important provisions, including automatic renewal terms and mandatory arbitration, that significantly affect
your legal rights.
We note, in particular, that these Terms contain an arbitration agreement that requires U.S. users to resolve
disputes with Pango or its affiliates through arbitration on an individual basis. Arbitration on an individual
basis means that you will not have, and you waive, the right for a judge or jury to decide your claims, and that
you may not proceed in a class, consolidated, or representative capacity. See Section 2.12 below for the details
of the arbitration agreement.
Who is Pango?
“Pango,” “We,” or “Us” means Intersections LLC. and our affiliates. These Terms represent a binding contract between you and Pango.
What is covered by these Terms?
To make it easier to understand, we’ve divided our legal terms into four parts:
(1) Billing, Cancellation and Refund Policies: This covers terms related to billing, automatic renewals,
cancellation and refunds, when billing is handled by Pango. Separate terms may apply if you didn’t purchase the
Services directly from Pango.
(2) General Legal Terms: This covers the general legal terms that make up the contractual relationship between you
and Pango such as eligibility, user accounts, binding arbitration, and indemnification.
(3) Service Specific Terms: These are specific terms that apply to the Services that Pango is providing to
you.
(4) License Terms: These are terms that govern how we give you a license to access and use the Services.
PART 1. AUTOMATIC RENEWALS, BILLING AND REFUNDS
1.1 Subscription. Our Services are billed on a subscription basis
(“Subscription”). You will be billed in advance for your Subscription on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing
Cycle”). The length of your Billing Cycles will depend on the Subscription you select. Billing Cycles will
typically consist of one (1) month or one (1) year terms. You agree to pay for the Subscription that you select
for the Services and you authorize us to automatically charge the payment method our service provider has on file
for your recurring payments according to the Billing Cycle applicable to your Subscription.
1.2 Automatic Renewals. At the end of each Billing Cycle, your
Subscription will automatically renew for an additional Billing Cycle under the same terms and conditions unless
you or we cancel your Subscription at least a day prior to the commencement of your next Billing Cycle. Several
methods of cancelling your Subscription are available to you, and are described at https://www.identitydefense.com/faq.
Once you have canceled your Subscription, your recurring subscription fees for the Services will no longer be
charged to the payment method we have on file for your account, and your subscription will remain active only
until the end of the current Billing Cycle. You may also be eligible for a refund depending on the specific plan
and offer you subscribed to in accordance with the applicable section(s) below. See Section 1.5 below.
If your Subscription includes a guarantee that you may cancel your Subscription and receive a refund within a set
period of time (“Money Back Guarantee”), you must request a refund within the timeframe applicable to your Money
Back Guarantee (“Money Back Period”) (e.g., if your Subscription includes a 30-day Money Back Guarantee you would
need to cancel within 30 days of the date of purchase).
1.3 Payment Methods. A valid payment method, including
credit card, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide us or our third-party
payment processor, with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code,
and valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize us to
charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
Unless we expressly provide otherwise, all amounts paid are non-refundable. You further agree to be responsible
for all taxes associated with the Services, along with any transaction fees and currency conversions added by your
financial institution and intermediaries. All amounts are in U.S. Dollars. If the billing method you provide is a
credit or debit card (“Payment Card”), you: (a) represent that you are authorized to use such Payment Card; (b)
authorize us to charge your Payment Card periodically for the Subscription fees when due, including upon sign up
for the Services and each subsequent Billing Cycle; (c) agree to keep your Payment Card details valid and current;
and (d) agree to pay any processing fees that are charged by the third-party payment processors or Payment Card
issuer. If your Payment Card is declined when we attempt to charge it, we may try to charge it again at a later
time. If we do not receive payment, we may suspend or terminate your Subscription.
1.4 Fee Changes. We may change the fees that we charge for
the Services, at any time at our sole discretion, provided that we will give you at least thirty (30) days, and
prior notice of such changes. Unless otherwise specified in such notice to you, any changes to the Subscription
fees will take effect in the Billing Cycle immediately following our notice to you.
PART 2. GENERAL LEGAL TERMS
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS – IF YOU RESIDE IN THE U.S. WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE
TERMS, YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES WITH Pango AND ITS AFFILIATES THROUGH ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL
BASIS
RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS. PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 2.12 OF THESE TERMS FOR DETAILS REGARDING
ARBITRATION.
2.1 Eligibility. Our Services are not available to persons
who are not Eligible or to any users previously suspended, terminated, or removed from the Services by Pango.
“Eligible” means that (i) you are 18 years of age or above the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence
(whichever is greater) or (ii) you are 13 years of age or older but under the age of majority in your jurisdiction
of residence and are using the Services with the permission and involvement of a parent or legal guardian who has
agreed to these Terms. By downloading, using, or accessing the Services, you represent and warrant that you are
Eligible. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a user under the age of majority, by allowing the minor user to
use the Services, you are acknowledging that you are subject to these Terms and responsible for the minor user’s
activity on the Services. Under no circumstances may anyone under 13 years of age use or access the Services at
any time or in any manner or submit any information through the Services.
2.2 User Accounts and Passwords. Registration as a user or
subscriber with the Services may require both a user name and a password, and certain portions of the Services may
require the use of multiple one-time or persistent passwords. You should consider your usernames and passwords as
confidential information. Anyone with knowledge of both your user name and password can gain access to the
restricted portions of the Services and your account. You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you
use to access the Services and for any activities or actions under your password, whether your password is with
our Services or third-party service. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You must notify
us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. You may not use
as a username the name of another person or entity or that is not lawfully available for use, a name or trademark
that is subject to any rights of another person or entity other than you without appropriate authorization, or a
name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene. We reserve the right to block a user’s account and/or
prohibit a user from using the Services in the event of any suspected or actual fraud or a violation of these
Terms, as determined in our sole discretion.
2.3 User Data & Submissions. When you create an account with
us, you must provide us with information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so
constitutes a breach of these Terms. You are fully and solely responsible and liable for the content and data you
enter into our Services.
Also, certain features on the Services may allow you to post or submit communications and content on or through
the Services (“Submissions”). You own any intellectual property rights to your Submissions, but, by making a
Submission, you automatically grant, or warrant that you and/or the owner of such content has expressly granted,
Pango a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, unlimited, nonexclusive license to use, reproduce, create
derivative works from, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform, and display the Submission in any
media or medium, or any form, format, or forum, now known or hereafter developed, to improve or market the
Services or for any other reasonable business purpose. We may sublicense these rights through multiple tiers of
sublicenses.
You are responsible for your Submissions and acknowledge that once published, we cannot always remove them. By
making a Submission, you guarantee that you own the content of your Submission and/or that you have obtained all
required permissions – including copyright and other intellectual property rights – necessary to make the
Submission and grant the foregoing license to Pango.
Your Submissions shall not be deemed confidential and Pango shall not have any obligation to keep any such
material confidential. Pango shall be free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in such
information for any purpose whatsoever including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, and marketing
products incorporating such information.
2.4 Free Trials. Pango may, at its sole discretion, offer a
Subscription with a free trial for a limited period (“Free Trial”). You may be required to enter your billing
information to sign up for the Free Trial. If you do enter your billing information when signing up for the Free
Trial, you will not be charged by us until the Free Trial has expired. On the last day of the Free Trial period,
unless you canceled your Subscription, you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the
type of Subscription you have selected. At any time and without notice, we reserve the right to (i) modify the
terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.
2.5 Third-Party Products and Policies. We may offer or
provide you access to products, services, or websites provided by third parties, including but not limited to free
services provided by third parties and websites that hyperlink to our website or to whom we hyperlink
(collectively “Third-Party Content”). Pango does not control or bear any responsibility for Third-Party Content,
including but not limited to their products or services or use by them of personal information you may provide
them.
If you choose to access or use any Third-Party Content, including without limitation through third-party payment
vendors while using the Services. Your personal information may be available to a third-party content provider. If
you choose to visit or use any Third-Party Content, these Terms will not apply to your activities or any
information you disclose while using third-party products or services or otherwise interacting with third parties.
How third parties handle and use your personal information related to their sites and services is governed by
their security, privacy, and other policies, if any, and not our policies. Pango has no responsibility for any
third party’s policies or any third party’s compliance with them. Under no circumstances shall we be held
responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage caused or alleged to have been caused to a
user in connection with the use of or reliance on any Third-Party Content.
2.6 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
you agree to indemnify and hold Pango, its affiliates, agents, suppliers, vendors, contractors, third-party
partners, and licensors, and each of their respective contractors, subcontractors, officers, directors,
shareholders, employees, agents, and its third-party suppliers, licensors, and partners (collectively, the “Pango
Entities”) harmless from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, including legal fees and expenses, arising out
of your use and misuse of the Services, any violation by you of these Terms, or any breach of the representations,
warranties, and covenants made by you herein. Pango reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive
defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify the Pango Entities, and you agree to
cooperate with Pango’s defense of these claims. Pango will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim,
action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.
2.7 Export. The Services, or certain portions thereof, may
be subject to United States export controls. You may not export or re-export any aspect of the Services without
(a) the prior written consent of Pango, (b) complying with any applicable export control laws, and (c) obtaining
all appropriate permits and licenses. In any event, you may not remove or export from the United States or allow
the export or re-export of any part of the Services in violation of any restrictions, laws, or regulations of the
United States Department of Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control,
or any other United States or foreign agency or authority. The Services may contain information that is controlled
and restricted from export by the United States export controls restrictions, regulations, and laws described
above (the “Controlled Information”). If Pango, in its sole discretion, determines that it cannot implement the
Services in a manner to exclude access to Controlled Information where required, if you are in a country or
territory that is subject to such regulation, you shall not be provided access to the Services.
2.8 Disclaimers; No Warranties. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED UNDER LAW AND SAVE FOR THE RIGHTS GRANTED TO CONSUMERS UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, Pango disclaims all
warranties, statutory, express, or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement of proprietary rights. No information, whether oral or
written, obtained by you from Pango or through the Services will create any warranty not expressly stated herein.
You expressly agree that the use of the Services is at your sole risk. The Services and any data, information,
third-party software, services, or applications made available in conjunction with or through the ServiceS are
provided on an “as is” and “as available,, “with all faults” basis and with no assurances that the Services will
withstand attempts to evade security mechanisms or that there will be no cracks, bugs, disablements or other
circumvention. Pango does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or free of errors, viruses, or other
harmful components and does not warrant that any of the foregoing will be corrected. You understand and agree that
if you use, access, or download the Services, or otherwise obtain or transmit materials, data, or other content
while using the Services, you do so at your discretion and risk.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU.
2.9 Limitation of Liability and Damages. TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW, Pango AND THE Pango ENTITIES WILL HAVE NO OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY (WHETHER ARISING IN
CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES,
INCLUDING DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT
OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM PERSONAL INJURY/WRONGFUL DEATH) ARISING CONCERNING YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE
HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO DAMAGES ARISING FROM (i) USE OF
OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, (ii) COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES, (iii) UNAUTHORIZED
ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS BY THIRD PARTIES, (iv) THIRD PARTY CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU
THROUGH THE SERVICES, OR (v) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICES.
Also, when using the Services, information will be transmitted over a medium that is beyond the control and
jurisdiction of Pango, its partners, advertisers, and sponsors, or any other third party mentioned on the
Services. Accordingly, Pango assumes no liability for or relating to the delay, failure, interruption, or
corruption of any data or other information transmitted in connection with the use of the Services.

PANGO, CSID, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR CREDIT INFORMATION SUBCONTRACTORS MAKE ANY WARRANTY,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, FOR THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN OR PROVIDED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PANGO
SERVICES. NEITHER PANGO, CSID, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES ASSUME ANY LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES, DIRECT OR
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL, IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES OR YOUR REQUEST, USE, OR
ATTEMPTED USE OF THE SERVICES. NEITHER PANGO NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR CREDIT INFORMATION
SUBCONTRACTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR NEGATIVE FACTUAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN ANY REPORTS YOU RECEIVE AS PART OF
THE SERVICE. THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ALL SUCH PARTIES TO YOU, IN ANY EVENT, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT WHICH YOU
HAVE PAID PANGO FOR YOUR MEMBERSHIP. PANGO PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE NOT A CREDIT COUNSELING SERVICE AND DO NOT
PROMISE TO HELP YOU OBTAIN A LOAN OR IMPROVE YOUR CREDIT RECORD, HISTORY, OR RATING. THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION
SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION, CANCELLATION, OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
2.10 Basis of the Bargain. You acknowledge and agree that
Pango has offered the Services, set its prices, and entered into these Terms in reliance upon the warranty
disclaimers and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that the warranty disclaimers and the limitations
of liability set forth herein reflect a reasonable and fair allocation of risk between you and Pango, and that the
warranty disclaimers and the limitations of liability set forth herein form an essential basis of the bargain
between you and Pango. Pango would not be able to provide the Services to you on an economically reasonable basis
without these limitations.
2.11 Government Use. This Section 2.11 applies where the
Services are provided for the benefit of a U.S. governmental end-user. As defined in FAR section 2.101, the
Services are “commercial items” and according to FAR 12.212 and DFARS section 252.227-7014(a)(1) and (5) are
deemed to be “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation.” Consistent with FAR
section 12.212 and DFARS section 227.7202, any use modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or
disclosure of such commercial software or commercial software documentation by the U.S. Government will be
governed solely by these Terms and will be prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by these Terms.
2.12 DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL
ARBITRATION
Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.
(A) Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by calling customer service
at 1-888-217-0379. In the unlikely event that customer service is unable to resolve a complaint you may have with
Pango or Pango’s service Provider(s) to your satisfaction (or if Pango and/or Pango’s service Provider(s) have not
been able to resolve a dispute with you after attempting to do so informally), you, on the one hand, and Pango
and/or Pango’s service provider(s), on the other, each agree to resolve those disputes under the Arbitration
Agreement contained in this Section 2.12. The Arbitration Agreement requires you to resolve all disputes (other
than those expressly exempted in this Section 2.12) through binding arbitration on an individual basis, instead of
in courts of general jurisdiction to the fullest extent permitted by law. Arbitration is more informal than a
lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited
discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages
and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class
arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. We will pay all costs of arbitration, no matter who wins, so
long as your claim is not frivolous. However, in arbitration, you, on the one hand, and Pango and/or Pango’s
service provider(s), on the other, will be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees to the same extent they would be
available in court.
(B) ARBITRATION AGREEMENT – You, on the one hand, and Pango and/or Pango’s service provider(s), on the other,
agree that any claim or dispute (“Claim”) between us shall, at the election of any one of us, be resolved by
binding arbitration ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its
rules for consumer arbitrations, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules as well as instructions
on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA appear at adr.org. Pango can also help put you in touch with
the AAA. The parties intend that this agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) be construed broadly, such
that this Arbitration Agreement includes any Claims by you against Pango or Pango’s service provider(s) as well as
their respective corporate affiliates for any claims, disputes, or causes of action related in any way to (i) your
use of the Services or (ii) the breach, enforcement, interpretation, applicability, or validity of these Terms or
any part of them (including this Arbitration Agreement).
You agree that, by entering into these Terms or otherwise using the Services, you are waiving the right to a trial
by jury or to participate in a class action. At your request, we will promptly reimburse you for the payment of
your arbitration filing fee. (The filing fee for consumers currently is $200 but is subject to change by the
arbitration provider. If you are unable to pay this fee, we will pay it directly after receiving a written
request). The arbitrator shall be authorized to award whatever relief would be available in a court under law or
in equity, other than relief reserved for the courts by law or statute. YOU, ON ONE HAND, AND PANGO AND/OR PANGO’S
SERVICE PROVIDER(S), ON THE OTHER, AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS
INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Further, unless both you and Pango agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s
claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific
provision in the preceding sentence is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement
shall be null and void. The parties to these Terms acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement is made according
to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1
et seq. (“FAA”), except to the extent state law provides defenses or exceptions not preempted by the FAA. Judgment
upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall follow
substantive law to the extent consistent with the FAA and shall honor any claims or privileges recognized by law.
The terms of this Section 2.12 shall survive any termination, cancellation, or expiration of this Agreement.
Exceptions to Arbitration: Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
following claims are not subject to this Arbitration
Agreement, provided that they are brought and maintained as individual claims and not in any class, consolidated,
or representative capacity: (1) claims you may have which relate to your credit report, or any claims arising out
of or relating to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and/or the FCRA’s state law equivalent(s) or (2) claims
properly lodged in a small claims court of the United States.
2.13 Prohibited Conduct. BY USING THE SERVICES YOU AGREE NOT
TO:
(a) use the Services for any fraudulent, harassing, or abusive purpose, or to damage or cause risk to our
business, reputation, employees, subscribers, facilities, or any person;

acknowledge and agree that we are not providing any legal, tax, or financial advice by providing the Services to

creditworthiness.
2.18 Monitoring of Customer Service Sessions. We and our
partners may, but have no obligation to, monitor and record customer service sessions, including telephone calls
and online sessions for purposes of improving customer service, internal training, and internal market research.
You hereby grant us permission to monitor and record any customer service sessions involving you and to use or
disclose any information as necessary or appropriate to satisfy any law, regulation, or other governmental
requests; to provide the Services to you or other users, and/or to enhance the types of Services we may provide in
the future.
2.19 Privacy. We respect your privacy and have taken
specific steps to protect it. Your submission of personal information through the Services is governed by our
Privacy Policy. By participating in the Services, you acknowledge that you have reviewed and understand
our Privacy Policy and consent to the practices
described in that policy.
2.20 Termination by Pango. Pango may terminate your use of
the Services or discontinue providing access to the Services at any time and for any reason, including, but not
limited to any actual or suspected breach by you of these Terms or any other unacceptable or objectionable use of
the Services, as determined by Pango in its sole discretion. You agree that any termination of your access to the
Services may be effected without prior notice and you agree that Pango will not be liable to you or any third
party for any such termination.
If such termination or discontinuation occurs during a period for which you are a paid subscriber, you may be
entitled to a pro-rated refund of your current subscription payment amount in connection with your use of the
Services. If your account is terminated due to your breach of these Terms, you will not be eligible for a refund.
All refunds are issued at Pango’s sole discretion and any refund request may be denied for any or no reason. If
you have been terminated from the Services and wish to request a refund, please email customer service at [email protected] and describe the
circumstances relating to the termination or discontinuation of
your use of the Services. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity may be referred to appropriate
law enforcement authorities. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies Pango may have at law or in
equity.
2.21 Termination by You. You may terminate these Terms at
any time by discontinuing use of the Services, deleting your account with the Services, and uninstalling any
Software downloaded in connection with your use of the Services.
2.22 Assignment. These Terms, and any rights and licenses
granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you but may be assigned by Pango without restriction. Any
assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void.
2.23 Additional Terms. Certain areas, features, or
functionality of the Services may be subject to different or additional terms, rules, guidelines, or policies
(“Additional Rules”), and we may provide such Additional Rules to you via postings, pop-up notices, links, or

in English. Any non-English translations of these Terms which may be made available are provided for convenience
only and are not valid or legally binding. Use of section headings in these Terms is for convenience only and will
not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. The use of the words “includes,” “including,”
“such as,” “for example,” and similar terms are deemed not to limit what else might be included.
2.28 Jurisdiction. You agree that in the event of a dispute
that is not subject to the Arbitration Agreement in these Terms, or if the Arbitration Agreement is found to be

the state or federal courts located in Fairfax County, (or Fairfax,) Virginia, and you hereby consent and submit

2.32 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided

3.1 Dark Web Monitoring
With our Dark Web Monitoring Services, you can designate your financial accounts, mailing address, and other types

monitor for the information that you designate through your account (“Designated Information”) and notify you when
your Designated Information is found online. By entering the Designated Information, you confirm that you own this
information and have the right to provide it to us. This product will not monitor for or detect any information
that
you have not designated through your account.
If we find your Designated Information on the dark web, we will send you a notification. We will not remove your
Designated Information from the dark web and we do not ensure the accuracy or integrity of the information on the
dark web. We do not guarantee that the Services will identify all instances of your Designated Information on the
dark web. You acknowledge and agree that our failure to identify Designated Information on the dark web will not
constitute a breach or default by us of our obligations.

Information.
When using the Dark Web Monitoring Services, you may not:
- Undertake or accomplish any unlawful purpose. This includes, but is not limited to, posting, storing, transmitting or disseminating information, data or material which is libelous, obscene, unlawful, threatening or defamatory, or which infringes the intellectual property rights of any person or entity, or which in any way constitutes or encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, or otherwise violate any local, state, federal, or non-U.S. law, order, or regulation;
- Obtain, export, move or copy any data, information or material when you do not have the right to do so, or which was obtained using the Dark Web Monitoring Services for an unlawful purpose;

- Impersonate any person or entity, engage in sender address falsification, forge anyone else’s digital or manual signature, or perform any other similar fraudulent activity (for example, “phishing”); or
- Use the Services for any purpose other than identity theft protection
3.2 Secure VPN/Wi-Fi Security
Our Secure VPN Services generally provide sufficient capacity to accommodate average non-commercial use. It is
possible that you may temporarily experience slower service or service unavailability, and any such temporary
slowdown or unavailability will not constitute a breach or default by us of our obligations. Pango reserves the
right to prevent your access to the Service or continued use thereof if you violate this Agreement, engage in
fraud or copyright infringement.
If we observe that: (a) your usage level exceeds our average customer use level or otherwise negatively impacts
the overall health of the network or (b) you exceed any bandwidth limitations associated with your account, all as
determined by Pango in its sole discretion, then we may suspend or cancel your account for clarification or
investigation. We will not be liable to you or owe you any refund or other compensation as a result of any such
suspension or cancellation. We do not condone or endorse any unlawful, illicit, criminal or fraudulent activities
perpetrated by you while using the Services. We will not be liable in any way for any actions of the users of the
Services.
3.3 Identity Theft Protection
The Identity Theft Protection Services are only available to users who have a U.S. Social Security Number or a
U.S. mailing address. You agree that you will use these Services only for your own behalf. You will be responsible
for all use of your membership number and must notify Pango immediately of any unauthorized use of your membership
number, or the theft or misplacement of your membership number.
Authorization: You understand that by enrolling in the Services, you are providing “written instructions” in
accordance with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended (“FCRA”), for Pango and its service providers,
which may include CSIdentity Corporation (“CSID”), to obtain information from your personal credit profile from
Experian, Equifax, and Transunion, the three major credit reporting agencies. You authorize Pango and its service
providers to use your Social Security number to access your personal credit profile, verify your identity, and
provide credit monitoring, reporting, and scoring products with each of the credit bureaus. Further, you authorize
Pango to make any inquiries necessary to verify your identity or your ownership of financial or other accounts
relevant to your use of the Services. This may include, without limitation, making inquiries through third-party
sources or requiring you to provide additional information or documentation. If we are unable to verify your
identity or otherwise obtain your credit information from a credit reporting agency, we will be unable to provide
certain Services to you and reserve the right to refuse to offer some or all of the Services to you and cancel
your Subscription, as applicable.
Insurance: Identity theft insurance is governed by a master policy, the terms of which are incorporated herein by
reference. The issuance of the policy is evidenced by an insurance certificate, summary of benefits, or other
similar document, that has been provided to you. You acknowledge receipt of this information and agree to be bound
by the terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions of the policy. To view these Terms and our website, you must
use a supported browser. You may obtain a paper copy of these disclosures by calling 1-855-552-2123.
Note on Public Records: The sex offender (“Offender”) information that is used for the Services is derived from
official public records. As such, the accuracy of the information provided through the Services may vary based
upon the accuracy of such official public records. In certain cases, we may not obtain all the address information
associated with the Offender who is contained in the public record. Depending on the public record data available,
we may not be able to plot the Offender on a map and, as such, we may elect to not show information about the
Offender. Some of the official data is gathered from the Offenders themselves who are required by law to notify
authorities about any changes to their place of residence. The information contained on the Services makes no
representation as to any Offender’s likelihood of re-offending or the nature of any future crimes they may commit.
Pango has no control over the contents of official public records. If you believe the information on this website
is incorrect, please contact the local police department in the applicable jurisdiction. That police department
will be able to assist you directly or refer you to the appropriate authority. Harassing, stalking, defrauding, or
threatening any Offender listed on this website most likely violates your state’s laws and is neither condoned nor
encouraged by Pango, its directors, shareholders, or employees. A person listed on the Services does not
necessarily mean that individual is an Offender. Please verify all information and contact your local police
department for help.
Credit Report-Related Disclosures for US Residents: The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows you to obtain a
disclosure from every credit reporting agency of the nature and substance of all information in your file at the
time of the request. Full disclosure of information in your file at Experian must be obtained directly from
Experian by calling 888-397-3742 or logging on to www.experian.com/consumer.
The credit report you are requesting
from Pango is not intended to constitute the disclosure of Experian information required by the Fair Credit
Reporting Act or similar state laws. You are entitled to receive a disclosure directly from the consumer reporting
agency free of charge under the following circumstances:
a. You have been denied credit, insurance or employment within the past sixty (60) days as a result of your credit
report.
b. You certify in writing that you are unemployed and intend to apply for employment in the 60-day period
beginning on the date on which I made the certification.
c. You are a recipient of public welfare assistance
d. You have reason to believe that your file at the agency contains inaccurate information due to fraud
e. Annually at www.annualcreditreport.com
Otherwise, the consumer reporting agency may impose a reasonable charge for the disclosure.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act permits you to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in your credit file. You
understand that accurate information cannot be changed. You do not have to purchase your credit report or other
information from Pango to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in my Experian file or to receive a copy of
your Experian consumer credit report.
Experian’s National Consumer Assistance Center provides a proprietary consumer disclosure that is different from
the consumer credit report provided by Pango. The disclosure report must be obtained directly from Experian.
Consumers residing in the States of Colorado, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, and Vermont may receive a free
copy of their consumer credit report once per year and residents of the State of Georgia may receive two copies
per year.
Fraud Alerts are available to any eligible consumers—free of charge—from a national consumer reporting agency.
NOTICE TO ILLINOIS RESIDENTS: MANY GOVERNMENT RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE FREE OR AT A NOMINAL COST FROM GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES. CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO GIVE YOU A COPY OF YOUR CREDIT RECORD UPON REQUEST AT
NO CHARGE OR FOR A NOMINAL FEE.
The Services are not intended to substitute for any free credit report or disclosure that any credit reporting
agency or bureau is required by law to provide to you. Neither you nor anyone else has the right to have accurate
and current information removed from your credit report. If information in your credit report is inaccurate, you
have the right to dispute it by contacting the credit bureau directly.
VANTAGESCORE 3.0 CREDIT SCORE: 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.
(And 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.
3.4 Social Media Monitoring
Our Social Media Monitoring Services will monitor your accounts on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube and notify you of any suspicious activity or potentially malicious links. It does not monitor chats or direct messages. We will only monitor accounts that you connect to the Services.
3.5 Financial Transaction Monitoring
If you choose to activate our Financial Transaction Monitoring Services, you must provide us with any necessary
information to render the Services, including, without limitation, the applicable account credentials for your
credit, commerce, banking, investment, and other eligible account(s) (“Transaction Account Credentials”). By
activating the Services and providing us with your Transaction Account Credentials, you hereby grant Pango the
express authorization to access your account(s) as your agent in fact and further grant to Pango a non-exclusive,
fully-paid, perpetual, royalty-free, license to use, reproduce, distribute, and/or transfer any data or account
information obtained for the sole purpose of monitoring your transactions within the corresponding accounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pango may prepare, develop, and retain aggregated and/or anonymized data from your
account for its own internal use.
Should you change your account information (including your Transaction Account Credentials with any of your
third-party providers) you must also update that account information in our system in order for Pango to continue
to provide the Services to that respective account. You hereby acknowledge and understand that our network(s),
products, and/or services are limited to the account information provided by you and your third-party providers,
and we may in certain limited circumstances experience delays and/or failures to process or identify fraudulent
transactions. You hereby acknowledge and agree to monitor your accounts and transactions and further expressly
recognize that you should not solely rely on alerts from Pango for accuracy or delivery in all cases.
3.6 Home Title Monitoring
Our Home Title Monitoring Services send a notification to you if we identify an ownership or other change on the
title to your home recorded by your county’s assessor or recorder’s office. If you receive a notification, you
will need to contact your local county assessor or county clerk to get more detailed information and/or correct
their records. This is a notice-only service. These Services do not include any Identity Theft Remediation
Services (discussed in Section 3.8 below) or identity theft event insurance (discussed in Section 3.3 above), or
any other services whatsoever, for any ownership or other changes to the title to your home.
These Services are dependent upon the records in local assessor or recorder’s offices. As such, the accuracy of
the information provided through the Services may vary based upon the accuracy of such records. You acknowledge
and agree that we will not be liable for any inaccuracies or errors in such records, or for the absence of any
information in such records.
3.7 Identity Theft Remediation
In order for us to provide our Identity Theft Remediation Services, you must provide us with a signed Limited
Power of Attorney (“LPOA”) in the form that we will send to you. A LPOA form may be sent to you after you contact
our customer support team which you will be required to complete and return in accordance with the instructions
enclosed. The LPOA allows us to work on your behalf with creditors, merchants, banks and other entities. You may
also be required to provide us with other documents relating to the applicable identity theft event, depending on
the circumstances.
In addition, separate and apart from the LPOA, you authorize us to take all reasonable actions on your behalf to
help restore your identity. Without limiting the immediately foregoing sentence, by agreeing to these Terms, you
are providing “written instructions” for us to obtain information on a recurring basis from any consumer reporting
agency in order to (i) confirm your identity, (ii) display or disclose your credit information to you and/or your
designated representative related to your use of the applicable Services, (iii) allow us to create and deliver
certain features of the Services to you, and (iv) permit us to monitor your credit file(s) so that we can provide
to you and/or your designated representative certain fraud alerts and provide assistance in reviewing certain
portions of your credit data. You acknowledge and agree that you do not have to specifically authorize each action
we take, and you further acknowledge that we can investigate the facts and circumstances related to your identity
theft case, including but not limited to contacting third parties by U.S. mail, telephone, and email. We reserve
the right to ask for evidence of or related to the identity theft event, including but not limited to: affidavits,
police reports, and/or other government reports.
3.8 Family Plans
Our Family Plan Services enable you to add other adults and children living at the same address as you, and help you monitor and manage the online activities of children up to 18 years old. If you are an adult, parent, or legal guardian, you may use the Services to track and monitor only your children, children for whom you are the legal guardian or others for whom you have legal authorization to track and monitor. You are responsible for obtaining authorization from any third party to whom you extend access to multi-user Services that track and monitor.
3.9 Anti-Virus/Malware Removal
If your Subscription includes our Anti-Virus or Malware Removal Services, or a similar service whereby we or one
of our partners access your device to attempt removal of malware or perform other specified services, additional
terms may apply. Such terms may be specified in the documents that accompanied your purchase.
We will make commercially reasonable efforts to perform the malware removal Services covered by your Subscription.
You understand and agree that not all malware can be removed through the Services and we do not guarantee that we
can remove all malware from your device(s). To the extent permitted by applicable law, we will have no liability
for loss of or recovery of data, software, or loss of use of system(s) or networks arising out of your use of
these Services or any act or omission, including negligence, by us or our representatives. You agree that you have
a valid and legal license to access and download the Services on your device(s) and that your use of the Internet
is solely at your own risk. By electing to receive the Services, you confirm that you (i) have full access to your
hardware and software for which you are purchasing the Services, and (ii) have completed a back-up onto separate
media of any software or data on the hardware that may be impacted by the Services.
3.10 Mobile Messaging Alerts
Our Mobile Alert Services allow you to receive informational alerts related to the categories you select. If you
do not wish to continue receiving these Services, you can reply “STOP” to any mobile message from us in order to
opt out of the Services.
User Opt In: The Services allow users to receive SMS/MMS (“mobile”) alerts that include information related
to
your Subscription, such as, but not limited to, fraud monitoring alerts, credit score alerts, dark web activity
alerts, etc. Users must affirmatively opt into these Services, such as by signing up online, or by texting a
keyword to Pango’s short code in response to a call-to-action. Regardless of the opt-in method you utilized to
receive the Services, you agree that these Terms apply to your participation in the Services. The mobile messaging
service used by Pango to communicate with you does not have the capacity to randomly or sequentially generate
telephone numbers. Thus, Pango’s mobile messages are not sent to you by an automatic telephone dialing system
(“ATDS” or “autodialer”). Nevertheless, by signing up to receive mobile alerts from Pango, you agree to receive
autodialed mobile messages and you understand that consent is not required to make any purchase from Pango.
Pango may also offer various applications or services that enable or incorporate transactional text messaging,
including, but not limited to, one-to-one messaging, text-message receipts, and other informational alerts. By
providing your mobile telephone number to Pango when presented with or informed of these Terms, you consent to
receive non-marketing mobile messages to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, regardless of the
technology utilized.
Cost and Frequency: Message and data rates may apply. The Services involve recurring mobile messages, and
additional mobile messages may be sent based on your interaction with Pango.
Contact Information: For support, text “HELP” to any Pango mobile message. If at any time you forget what
keywords
are supported, you can also text “HELP” to 99754 and we will respond with instructions on how to contact us. For
all questions about the services provided by this short code, you can send an email to
[email protected].
User Opt-Out and Additional Commands: To opt-out of receiving all mobile messages, reply “STOP” to any
mobile
message you received from Pango on your mobile device. This is the easiest and preferred method to opt out of
receiving mobile messages from Pango. You may receive an additional mobile message confirming your decision to opt
out. The Services may recognize or respond to additional commands and keyword queries. Thus, you may receive
additional informational text messages based on your interaction with the Services, even after opting out of
receiving the mobile alerts. You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any prior opt-out attempt, you
consent to receive further messages from or on behalf of Pango that result from your continued communication with
the Services. Pango may also provide you instructions on how to rejoin receiving the Services’ recurring mobile
alerts when you unsubscribe. You agree that you are subject to the Terms, including any modifications thereto then
in effect, when you resubscribe to the Services through any of the available options to do so.
MMS: The Services will send SMS MTs if your mobile device does not support MMS messaging.
Pango Warranty: Pango will not be liable for any delays or failures in the receipt of any messages
connected with
