BorrowerCheck™ for Dealers with IEValidate™ – Standard Terms and Conditions
These standard terms and conditions (“Standard Terms”) are attached to, and form an integral part of, the License and Usage Agreement (“Agreement”) between the dealership listed on the signed Agreement (“Dealership”) and PointPredictive, Inc. (“Company”).
1. BORROWERCHECK™ FOR DEALERS WITH IEVALIDATE™ (“BORROWERCHECK”)
BorrowerCheck is a service that allows Authorized Users to enter a potential customer’s identity details (Name, Address, Social Security Number, Phone, and Date of Birth) and receive a report of red flag indicators from the Point Predictive Consumer Risk Data Repository (“Data Repository”) and selected third-party data sources highlighting any issues or concerns related to the potential customer’s identity for further investigation. If information about the potential customer’s stated employer or stated income is provided, the red flag indicators from the Data Repository will also include information related to those aspects of the potential customer as well as an assessment of the borrower’s most likely annual income from the Company’s IEValidate service. BorrowerCheck is provided to Dealership exclusively through Dealership’s use of the RouteOne dealer desktop. All data provided by Dealership to the BorrowerCheck service is “Borrower Data”.
2. COMMERCIAL DETAILS
The Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues for the period listed in the Subscription Details section of the Agreement until terminated by either party, for convenience, at the end of any initial subscription period or any subsequent renewal period (as defined in the Subscription Details), by providing a minimum of thirty (30) days prior written notice (the “Term”). Any payment that is more than thirty (30) days late may result in suspension of the BorrowerCheck service to Dealership. Either party may terminate the Agreement for cause: (i) upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party of a material breach if such breach remains uncured at the expiration of such period; or (ii) if the other party files a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding is undertaken and not promptly dismissed relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. Company may terminate the Agreement for cause if Dealership is not approved by Company’s third party data providers at the beginning of the initial subscription period or if Dealership’s approval is ever rescinded by Company’s third-party data providers.
3. DEALERSHIP OBLIGATIONS
Authorized Location” is the Dealership address provided in the Dealership Details section of the Agreement, after approval by Company’s third-party data providers. “Authorized Users” are those Route One dealer desktop users enabled for BorrowerCheck access by Dealership for the Authorized Location.

Dealership shall: (i) be responsible for its compliance, and the compliance of all Authorized Users with the Agreement; (ii) be solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity and legality of Borrower Data and of the means by which it acquired Borrower Data; (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the BorrowerCheck service and notify Company promptly of any such unauthorized access or use; and (iv) use the BorrowerCheck service only in accordance with the Agreement and applicable laws and government regulations.

The third-party data providers whose data may be used to create the BorrowerCheck Results have established certain additional requirements that apply to all BorrowerCheck customers. Dealership agrees to comply with all of the additional requirements set forth in Exhibit A hereto continuously throughout the Term.

4. COMPANY OBLIGATIONS
For each Borrower Data record provided to the BorrowerCheck service, Company will return various red flag indicators and a preformatted report to the RouteOne dealer desktop (“BorrowerCheck Results”). The BorrowerCheck Results are Confidential Information of Company.
5. LICENSE AND RESTRICTIONS
Company grants Dealership a royalty-free, non-exclusive, limited license to use the BorrowerCheck Results throughout the Term for the purpose of triggering or avoiding additional verification activities as part of Dealership’s mitigation strategies to prevent fraud and misrepresentation on active or potential consumer applications for loans or other similar services. Dealership acknowledges and agrees that the BorrowerCheck Results are not “consumer reports” (as such term is defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act) and may not be used to support or justify any “adverse action” (as such term is defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act) against any consumer.

Dealership shall not: (i) make the BorrowerCheck Results available to any third party; (ii) sell, resell, rent or lease the BorrowerCheck Results; (iii) create derivative works based on the BorrowerCheck Results; (iv) remove any Company titles, trademark symbols, copyright symbols and restrictive legends from the BorrowerCheck Results; (v) bypass or disable any protections that may be put in place to provide security for BorrowerCheck or to protect against unlicensed use of BorrowerCheck; (vi) allow anyone besides Authorized Users to access or use BorrowerCheck; (vii) use the BorrowerCheck Results for marketing or solicitations of any kind or for direct-to-consumer sales; or (viii) maintain a database or table of BorrowerCheck Results for the purpose of avoiding a future billable BorrowerCheck request.
